While the others had already written letters apologizing to Jaitley, Vishwas had refused.

Kumar Vishwas finally sent in his apology to Jaitley to, in a letter. Jaitley has accepted the apology and entire issue has now blown off.

At the Delhi High Court on Monday (May 28) before Justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw, the counsels for the parties submitted that the dispute was settled now between the parties. In view of that court disposed of the defamation suit against Vishwas.
