Judicial Magistrate Kamalavathi, who Wednesday issued the warrant after Vijaykanth failed to appear before her in response to summons, revoked it and posted the case to June 5 for the next hearing.
The government advocate has filed the case against Vijaykanth seeking to punish him for his alleged defamatory remarks against Chief Minister Jayalalithaa on August 6 last during a public meeting in Tirunelveli.
Reacting to the issuance of arrest warrant, DMDK had Wednesday said Vijaykanth was busy with a meeting of party MLAs and hence could not appear before the court and that he would present himself on Thursday.
