|September 07, 2024
The Supreme Court in the case Harpreet Singh v. State (Govt of NCT of Delhi) observed and has asked whether there was any restriction on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal performing his official duties from jail, wherein the petition is filed related to a delay in deciding the remission of a convict.
-
The counsel appearing for the Delhi Government informed the bench comprising of Justice Abhay Oka and Justice Augustine George Masih that that the file cannot be forwarded to the Lieutenant Governor unless it is signed by the CM, who is currently jail in the alleged Delhi Liquor Policy scam.
The bench of Justice Oka stated, adding that these matters cannot remain pending, ‘Is there any restraint order on Honourable Chief Minister performing his duties from jail? This court want to examine this because this will affect hundreds of cases. So many files would be there as various orders are passed by the Court concerning the Chief Minister. Whether there is any restraint on the Chief Minister signing such important files?’ The Chief Minister has been in Enforcement Directorate, ED custody since March 21, 2024. While in ED custody, he was being arrested by the CBI on June 26, 2024.
