Delhi High Court rejects plea for arrested political leaders to campaign virtually for 2024 elections, calling it highly adventurous . The bench warns that allowing this could set a precedent for criminals like Dawood Ibrahim to form political parties.
The Supreme Court had tough questions for Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal during Monday's hearing, particularly about why he had not filed a bail application in a trial court.
The Supreme Court probed the Enforcement Directorate on the timing of Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal s arrest before the elections and requested their response. Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta, hearing Kejriwal s plea against his arrest in the excise policy scam, emphasized the importance of life and liberty. ED has been asked to respond in the next hearing scheduled for Friday.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was arrested by the ED on March 21, hours after the High Court refused to grant him interim protection from arrest in the case.
