New Delhi: Sunita Kejriwal, wife of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, got setback from the Delhi High Court on Saturday. Taking a strong note on the courtroom video of Arvind Kejriwal, HC directed Sunita Kejriwal and others to take down the video immediately.
In fact, Sunita Kejriwal had shared a video on her X handle, in which Delhi CM Kejriwal can be heard presenting his arguments before the judge inside the court. Terming it a violation, the High Court came down heavily on Sunita Kejriwal and directed her to remove the video from her social media accounts.
The court also directed all social media platforms to take down the video with similar content.
The video featured her husband personally addressing the court following his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with the alleged liquor policy scam. A bench of Justices Neena Bansal and Amit Sharma was hearing a PIL demanding action against her and several others for allegedly recording trial court proceedings during the Chief Minister’s address following his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
The court’s order also extends to other users who have shared the content, requiring them to take down the video from their social media handles. The case is scheduled for its next hearing on July 9.
The recordings were purportedly shared on social media. Filed by Delhi-based lawyer Vaibhav Singh, the PIL requests the formation of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigate and register an FIR against those involved in the alleged recording and dissemination of the court proceedings.
The plea argues that these actions put the trial court judge’s life at risk. Singh’s petition names several individuals, including Akshay Malhotra, social media user Nagrik-India Jeetega, Promila Gupta, Vineeta Jain, and Dr Arunesh Kumar Yadav.
The petition claims they willfully disobeyed the Video Conferencing Rules set by the high court. “Several members of the Aam Aadmi Party, along with other opposition party members, intentionally and deliberately recorded audio and video of the court proceedings with the willful intention to malign and manipulate the court proceedings,” states the plea.
