New Delhi, 9/6: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has moved the Gujarat High Court seeking a review of the judgement which set aside the direction of the Chief Information Commission (CIC) to provide the degree of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and imposed a fine of Rs 25,000 on him for seeking the degree “persistently”.
A single bench of Justice Biren Vaishnav admitted the petition and issued notices returnable on June 30. Kejriwal had sought a stay of the execution of judgement passed on March 31 on the grounds that there were “errors apparent on the face of record”.
Kejriwal raised two issues while seeking a review of the judgement. He said that he never “persisted” for the Prime Minister’s degree as he didn’t file any application for information about the degree. The petition states that he neither requested to treat him as an applicant while the CIC suo motu took up the matter and therefore the cost imposed on him is nothing but “an error apparent on the record.”
