Delivering its verdict, the High Court said there’s no scope of judicial intervention into the matter
Delhi High Court on Thursday rejected the plea seeking to remove Arvind Kejriwal as Chief Minister since his credibility has been damaged with his arrest in the money laundering case related to the alleged liquor policy scam case.
Delivering its verdict, the High Court bench said there’s no scope of judicial intervention into the matter and the executive will look into the issue.
The High Court Clarified that it won’t enter the political gimmick. It is for the other wing to look into the issue, the bench said.
The plea was moved by Surjit Singh Yadav, a Delhi resident, claiming that a Chief Minister accused of a financial scandal should not be permitted to continue in public office.
The plea also sought direction to investigate how AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal, who is operating as Chief Minister of Delhi from jail, is passing orders from ED custody. Kejriwal is currently in custody of the central investigation agency, which is ending today.
