A cost of Rs 5,000 was today imposed by a Delhi court on Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit for her non-appearance in a defamation case lodged by her against BJP leader Vijender Gupta.

The court also directed her to be present before it on January 27 without "any excuse".

During the hearing, Dikshit's counsel sought exemption for his client, saying she could not appear as she is busy in election meetings for finalising the list of candidates for the upcoming elections.
