HC tells Arvind Kejriwal, Somnath Bharti to reply on poll expense plea in 2 weeks

NEW DELHI: The Delhi high court on Tuesday gave two weeks' time to former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and his colleague Somnath Bharti to respond to a plea seeking cancellation of their election for allegedly exceeding the expenditure limit in the assembly polls.

HC sought their response by April 17 on petitions by BJP leaders Vijender Gupta and Arti Mehra alleging that Kejriwal and Bharti each spent beyond the statutory limit of Rs 14 lakh. Both BJP leaders lost to the AAP leaders in their respective constituencies.

Justice Vipin Sanghi extended the time granted to Kejriwal by two more weeks on a prayer by his counsel while another bench of Justice G S Sistani asked Bharti to respond to Mehra's plea within two weeks.

Justice Sistani also questioned the BJP leaders about the effect of the chief minister's resignation on the petition. "What is the effect of resignation of CM on this petition? What will be the effect if you succeeded in the case," HC asked the petitioner.

Clarifying the stand, Arti Mehra through her counsel said that hers is an election petition where resignation of the CM will have no effect in the case and the case can carry on even after his resignation. "They (Kejriwal and Bharti) can't contest election for six years if we succeed."

The BJP leaders have alleged that the AAP leaders spent more than Rs 17 lakh each in the assembly polls and urged the high court to declare their election null and void. As per the Election Commission, every candidate can spend Rs 14 lakh on an assembly election, said Gupta, former Delhi BJP chief. Mehra is a former mayor.
