"No Legal Merit": Supreme Court Junks Another Plea To Sack Arvind Kejriwal | Read
The Supreme Court has snubbed a petition seeking the removal of Arvind Kejriwal as Chief Minister of Delhi following his arrest in March in the alleged liquor policy scam case. The plea was filed by Kant Bhati, who challenged a Delhi High Court order last month quashing his request to sack Mr Kejriwal. A bench of Justice Sanjiv Khanna and Justice Dipankar Datta said it was up to Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena to act, if the situation warranted intervention, and refused to interfere. The court said there was no legal merit to the petition and noted, "Ultimately it is a matter of propriety." "How can we go into all this... let the LG take action if he wants to..." the court said.
