The High Court has refused to hear the PIL demanding the removal of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal from his post and has rejected the petition. This PIL has been filed in the High Court by a person named Surjeet Singh Yadav. It has been said in the petition that due to Arvind Kejriwal continuing on the post of Chief Minister, the process of law and justice will be hampered, and there is also a danger of the constitutional system in Delhi breaking down.
Rejecting the petition, the High Court said that there is no constitutional obligation that Arvind Kejriwal cannot continue in his post. The High Court said that this is a matter related to the executive, the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi will look into this matter and then he will send it to the President. The court has no role in this matter.
During the hearing before the bench of Acting Chief Justice Manmohan and Justice Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora said that if there is a constitutional question, then the Lieutenant Governor (LG) will look into it, only he can take it to the President. The High Court said that yes, there will be some practical problems in this, but how can we say anything to the LG or the President. It is the job of the central government, how should we interfere?
The High Court said that how can we ask for removal. How can there be judicial review in this? The court further asked whether there is any such restriction in the law, according to which it can be said that he cannot remain the CM.
The court said that in this petition a demand has been made to remove Arvind Kejriwal from the post of CM. The court believes that there is no scope for judicial intervention in this.
