The Supreme Court of India has turned down a request to remove Arvind Kejriwal from his position as the Chief Minister of Delhi.The plea was made in response to Kejriwal's recent arrest by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with the Delhi excise policy case.
This decision is a relief for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and its supporters, who have stood by Kejriwal despite the legal challenges he faces.
The Supreme Court's ruling reaffirms Kejriwal's status as the democratically elected leader of the National Capital Territory. Kejriwal's arrest had stirred controversy and raised doubts about his political future.
However, the Supreme Court's decision emphasizes the principle of innocence until proven guilty and supports the democratic process. While legal battles may continue, today's verdict offers Kejriwal and his government an opportunity to focus on governance and address the pressing issues confronting Delhi. It also underscores the judiciary's role in safeguarding democratic institutions and ensuring impartial justice.
