Ahead of the general elections in 2024, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was initially detained and later arrested by the central agency Enforcement Directorate in connection with the Delhi Excise police case, sparking a nationwide debate over Arvind Kejriwal’s arrest. Meanwhile, the opposition wanted to take advantage of the situation and started demanding the removal of Arvind Kejriwal as the chief minister of Delhi. Nevertheless, a plea was also filed in the apex court for the ouster of the CM from power.
The decision was pending till Monday, May 13, 2024, when a bench of Justice Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta rejected the plea citing the reason that it is a matter of propriety and there is no right to seek removal of Arvind Kejriwal as Delhi’s Chief Minister after his arrest. The Supreme Court judges further said it depends on the LG how he wants to act on this situation and the Supreme Court is not supposed to interfere. “It is up to Delhi LG to act if he wants to but we will not interfere,” said justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta.
For the unversed, the plea against Arvind Kejriwal to remove him as Delhi’s Chief Minister was filed by Kant Bhati to challenge the Delhi High Court’s order announced on April 10, 2024, to dismiss his plea.
