Former Aam Aadmi Party Minister Sandeep Kumar has moved the Delhi High Court “seeking to dislodge” Arvind Kejriwal from holding the office of the Chief Minister.
This is the third plea seeking removal of Mr. Kejriwal as Chief Minister after his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate on March 21 in connection with the Delhi excise policy case. The division Bench headed by acting Chief Justice Manmohan had rejected previous two pleas.
Justice Subramonium Prasad may hear the petition on Monday in which Mr. Kumar, who was the MLA from Sultanpur Mazra constituency, pleaded that Mr. Kejriwal is not capable enough to carry out his constitutional duties under articles 239AA (4), 167(b) and (c) and proviso to sub-section (4) of Section 14 of the Disaster Management Act, 2005, as he is in jail.
