PIL in Delhi HC seeks removal of Arvind Kejriwal as CM

New Delhi, 22/3: A PIL was filed in the Delhi High Court on Friday seeking AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal’s removal from the post of chief minister following his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate in an excise policy-linked money laundering case.

According to court sources, the petition has some defects and will be listed for hearing once these are cured. In his petition, Surjit Singh Yadav demanded that the Centre, Delhi government and the principal secretary to the lieutenant governor explain under what authority Kejriwal is holding the post of chief minister.
