Directions to chief secretary to appear before assembly panel not warranted: Delhi high court
Hindustan TimesThe Delhi high court on Tuesday said its earlier directions to chief secretary Anshu Prakash to appear before Delhi Assembly’s Privileges Committee were “not warranted” after a plea was filed by the House panel questioning the court’s jurisdiction to produce the video recordings of committee’s proceedings in court. The Delhi high court had earlier directed the House panel to produce video recordings of the proceedings of the committee. The HC had earlier directed the House panel to produce video recordings of the proceedings of the committee. The Delhi High Court was hearing a fresh application filed by the committee seeking a recall of the court’s August 28 order in which the panel was directed to produce before it the verbatim records and video recordings of the panel’s proceedings in which Prakash was questioned.
