Supreme Court has refers to a Constitution bench AAP's petition for dissolution of Delhi Assembly and to hold fresh elections.
The Supreme Court on Friday heard a petition filed by Aam Aadmi Party against imposition of President's Rule in Delhi.
The hearing comes a day after former Delhi chief minister Arvind
Kejriwal accompanied by AAP legislators met President Pranab Mukherjee
to demand immediate dissolution of the Assembly and fresh elections in
Delhi.
The apex court had on May 05 posted for July 04 the hearing on the
petition after it was informed that Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung had
decided to deal with the matter after the conclusion of Lok Sabha polls.
A bench headed by Chief Justice RM
Lodha was requested by senior counsel Fali Nariman, appearing for AAP,
to keep the matter for hearing in first week of July as the LG had
informed that he will deal with the issue after 16 May.
Advocate Prashant Bhushan, an AAP leader, had also made the same
request and said nobody is coming forward to claim for formation of
government.
He had also submitted that elections are being held and the results
may change the ground reality since the last Assembly Elections.
The apex court had earlier said that there was no legal impediment
for the President to dissolve the Delhi Assembly to pave the way for
fresh election in the state.
The bench, however, had clarified that it was not passing any
direction in any manner in this regard and it was for the President to
decide on the basis of the facts and circumstances.
Delhi has been under President's Rule since February 17 after
Kejriwal resigned as chief minister over the stalling of the Jan Lokpal
bill in the Assembly.
Why is the BJP scared of holding elections in Delhi.
Why is it trying to cause defections in the Congress and AAP by weaning away their MLAs so that it can form government?
Where have their morality that they would not form government, gone now?
