Chaudhary, in his complaint against Jindal and several Directors of JSPL, said that defamatory statements were made in an FIR lodged against him in the alleged Rs 100 crore extortion bid case at a press conference held here.
Metropolitan Magistrate (MM) Jay Thareja heard the brief arguments advanced by Chaudhary's counsel Vijay Aggarwal and fixed the matter for January 3 for passing order on the issue of taking cognisance of the complaint.
"Fresh written complaint filed under section 200 CrPC alleging commission of offence under section 499 (defamation) of IPC. Arguments on the point of taking cognisance have been heard. Put up for orders on taking cognisance and if required, further proceeding on January 3, 2013," the magistrate said.
During the arguments, Aggarwal said there were two causes of action for filing the complaint against the Congress MP and the directors of JSPL.
Chaudhary and Zee Business Editor Samir Ahluwalia were arrested on November 27 on a complaint by Jindal's firm that they had demanded Rs 100 crore as an advertising deal for not airing negative news against the firm in connection with the coal block allocation scandal.
Both Chaudhary and Ahluwalia were later on granted bail on December 17 by the court.
They have been booked under section 384 (extortion), 420 (cheating), 120 B (criminal conspiracy) and 511 (punishment for attempting to commit offences punishable with imprisonment for life or other imprisonment) of the IPC.
During the hearing, Aggarwal said the complaint was filed by an accused Rajeev Bhadauria who is the Director (HR) of JSPL and all other accused persons were well aware that in it false statements have been made.
The complaint further said that on October 25, 2012, when Naveen Jindal along with other accused held a press conference and made "false statements" that Broadcast Editors Association (BEA) had removed Chaudhary as a Treasurer "after giving him opportunity and after considering his statement, but Sudhir Chaudhary never appeared before BEA and BEA passed the order without hearing him".
Aggarwal said his client has challenged his removal from BEA in the Delhi High Court which has issued notice to the association.
"The statements made by the accused persons are totally malicious, false, incorrect and defamatory allegations/remarks against the complainant," it said.
Chaudhary in his complaint has also alleged that JSPL has circulated among its shareholders a letter containing very "serious and utterly false allegations" against him because of which he is facing humiliation, ill treatment and his goodwill and reputation has been lowered down in his social circle.
