PIL Against Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal: Aam Aadmi Party’s national convenor Arvind Kejriwal is in the custody of the Enforcement Directorate. Due to the latest Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed against him in Delhi High Court, his post of Chief Minister is once again under threat. Hindu Sena on Friday filed a petition against Kejriwal demanding his removal from the post of Delhi CM.
In the petition filed by Hindu Sena, it has been demanded that the court should order Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena to remove CM Arvind Kejriwal from his post. The petition further states that the Central Government should run Delhi through LG rule.

On Thursday, the Delhi High Court rejected the PIL which sought directions to remove Arvind Kejriwal from the post of Chief Minister of NCT Delhi. Rejecting the said PIL, the court said that there is no scope for judicial intervention in this matter.
Meanwhile, Kejriwal and AAP ministers are adamant that the chief minister will continue running the Delhi government despite being in custody, even passing a public welfare order this week.
The latest PIL filed by Hindu Sena president Vishnu Gupta said the Constitution does not envisage a situation where, in the event of an arrest, the Chief Minister can run his government from judicial custody or police custody.
The petition states that the framers of the Indian Constitution have carefully made provisions in Articles 163 and 164 that the Chief Minister shall be accompanied by a council or minister to aid and advise the Governor except in discretionary functions or to discharge the functions of the Governor under the Constitution. Be advised to do so.
