'Courts don't remove a CM': HC refuses to entertain PIL to remove Arvind Kejriwal as Delhi Chief Minister

In a recent development, the Delhi High Court has declined to entertain a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) aimed at removing Arvind Kejriwal from his position as Chief Minister of the national capital. The PIL, filed by Vishnu Gupta, National President of Hindu Sena, was based on Kejriwal being under ED custody in connection with a liquor policy case.

The division bench of Acting Chief Justice Manmohan and Justice Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora dismissed Gupta's petition, emphasizing that the decision to continue as CM or not rests with Kejriwal himself. The court noted, "At times, personal interest has to be subordinate to national interest but that is his (Arvind Kejriwal's) personal call."

Furthermore, the Delhi HC pointed out that the petitioner's recourse lies with the Lieutenant Governor or the President of India, highlighting the legal avenues available for addressing such concerns.

This development underscores the intersection of legal, political, and public interest dynamics in India's governance landscape. It also brings attention to the role of the judiciary in adjudicating matters that impact the functioning of elected officials.

As this news reverberates across the country, it prompts discussions on the boundaries of executive authority, the judiciary's stance on matters of public interest, and the avenues for citizens to seek redressal through constitutional channels.
