The Supreme Court on May 13 refused to entertain a petition seeking the removal of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal from office following his arrest and remand in the excise policy case.
A Bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta refused the petition filed by Delhi resident Kant Bhati, who contended that Mr. Kejriwal was unable to perform his official functions.
The same Bench had granted Mr. Kejriwal interim bail for campaigning for the Lok Sabha elections on May 10.
