It doesn't even require a defamation case to arrest a citizen and tie him up in court procedures.
If I have a friend in police I can get even NaMo arrested thus (of course now his SPG would not allow that!)
or atleast get a summons sent to him by a court! One journalist proved it by having a sting operation in a Gujarat court.
He got non-bailable warrants issued against the then Prez Dr Kalam and the CJI!
Under those circumstance ordinary citizens can only suffer the atrocious court procedures!

Under the colonial law continued by Nehru in India a citizen can be jailed very easily. The powers given to a magistrate are huge and were codified under the British. It is appalling that Kejriwal can be summoned by a court and jailed just for saying a politician was corrupt. To make a citizen run from court to court is so easy in India

I agree with Nalapat ji. This is not about Arvind Kejriwal, this is about Indian democracy. There is no reason to jail him for what he said. In defamation against public persons, they can always call a press conference and refute it publicly. That is the US law and I understand the same with Indian law.

It is unfortunate that the (colonial-era) laws are such that an
individual can get sent to jail simply for calling a prosperous
politician corrupt. Whatever one's views on Arvind Kejriwal,his
incarceration will have a chilling effect on freedom of expression.The
Indian media,as is its won't,has chased the "lizard's tail" of Arvind
refusing to post a bail bond,while missing out on the "lizard" viz a
magistrate jailing an individual for what in more robust democracies
passes off as fair comment about political leaders
