‘Do we impose martial law?: Court turns down plea linked to Arvind Kejriwal
The Delhi High Court on Wednesday dismissed a public interest litigation (PIL) petition seeking directions to restrain media channels from creating pressure and airing sensational headlines on unfounded claims of resignation of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and imposition of President’s Rule in Delhi.Â
“What do we do? Do we impose emergency or martial law?” the court asked, rejecting the plea.Â
“How do we gag the press or political rivals?” the court asked, as it also imposed a fine of Rs 1 lakh on the petitioner, a lawyer by profession.Â
The plea also sought directions to provide adequate facilities to Arvind Kejriwal in Tihar Jail to enable him to interact with his cabinet members and members of the legislative assembly for the efficient functioning of the Delhi government.
