Arvind Kejriwal made serious allegations against many leaders of non-AAP parties. One does not know the veracity of these charges. At least, the accuser must have thought of them as true.
Some of these allegations have been fought in courts of law and considerable judicial time has been spent on them (injudiciously, in hindsight). Courts are already reeling under Docket Explosion. Kejriwal has done a signal disservice to Indian judiciary by preempting its precious time through diversionary tactics.
The courts should view this disrespect for judiciary seriously. Even if the accused have accepted Kejriwal's apology and are ready to withdraw their plaints, judiciary should put its foot down and demand that the accuser prove his charges or be punished for contempt of court. If the courts express their disdain for frivolous political allegations, politicians may learn to behave better.

If possible court should file a defamation suit for damaging its reputation and wasting it's time.
Accusations published in the front page and prime time, making it reach a huge mass and apology published as a bit news.. questions the credibility of media as well
