    Delhi HC dismisses plea to remove Arvind Kejriwal as CM
    Credits

    The Delhi High Court today dismissed a plea seeking removal of AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal as Chief Minister of the national capital as he was facing prosecution in a criminal case. A bench of Chief Justice Rajendra Menon and Justice V K Rao said, "Prosecution is still going on. He may get acquitted. What will you do then? Come after he is convicted."

    'Case still pending, elected authorities can't be removed like this'

    The bench said prosecution was still pending in the case and elected authorities cannot be removed like this. The court was hearing a petition by Harinath Ram, an advocate, seeking direction to the Lieutenant Governor for immediate removal of Kejriwal and other ministers named as accused in a criminal case relating to assault of the then Delhi Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash.

    Kejriwal committed breach of oath under Constitution: Petitioners

    The petition, filed through advocates Shashank Deo Sudhi, Bijender P Kumar and Shashi Bhushan, alleged that Arvind Kejriwal committed a breach of oath under the Constitution as he was allegedly involved in acts of violence in conspiracy with other elected members. The petition said people of the state have a right to be governed under the law by a truthful citizen.

    Those indulging in criminal activities shouldn't continue as CM: Petition

    It is an unimaginable constitutional crisis that the same prosecuting machinery is taking care of the criminal proceedings of the chief minister which is legally under the Department of Home of the government of NCT of Delhi, the petition alleged. It added that those who indulge in criminal acts have no legal or constitutional right to continue as the chief minister.
