DELHI, 23 MARCH 2024: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has made a decisive move in response to his recent arrest and subsequent remand order issued by the trial court on March 22nd. In what appears to be a proactive legal strategy, Kejriwal's legal team has swiftly lodged a petition in the Delhi High Court, contesting the legality of both the arrest and the remand order.
The petition filed by Kejriwal's legal representatives highlights the perceived unlawfulness of his arrest and detention, arguing vehemently for his immediate release from custody. Sources close to the Chief Minister's legal counsel reveal that the petition outlines in detail the grounds on which the arrest and remand order are being challenged, citing procedural irregularities and potential violations of Kejriwal's constitutional rights.
In a bid to expedite the legal process, Kejriwal's legal team has urgently requested a hearing from the Acting Chief Justice of the Delhi High Court, with a preference for a resolution before Sunday, March 24th. This move underscores the seriousness with which Kejriwal and his legal advisors are approaching the matter, as they seek swift justice and resolution in the face of what they perceive as an unjust arrest and detention.
The filing of the petition in the Delhi High Court marks a significant escalation in Kejriwal's legal battle, as he seeks to challenge the actions taken against him and assert his rights as the Chief Minister of Delhi. The outcome of this legal challenge will undoubtedly be closely watched, with potential implications for Kejriwal's political future and the broader landscape of Indian governance.
