Supreme Court extends stay on proceedings against Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal in UP over alleged election law violation

 

On Monday, the Apex Court extended its interim stay on proceedings against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in a case registered against him for allegedly making objectionable remarks against the BJP and the Congress in Uttar Pradesh during the 2014 parliamentary election campaign.

Arvind Kejriwal has moved the Supreme Court against an order of the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court that had in Jan declined to discharge the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief in the criminal case pending before a trial court at Sultanpur.

In the FIR, Kejriwal has been charged under Section 125 of the Representation of the People (RP) Act, 1951, which pertains to promoting enmity between classes in connection with elections.
