PIL before Delhi HC seeks disqualification of arrested AAP MLA Satyendar Jain

A Public Interest Litigation has been filed before the Delhi High Court seeking to declare AAP leader Satyendar Jain, arrested in a money laundering case, a “person with unsound mind” and disqualify him as MLA and minister. The plea, filed through lawyer Rudra Vikram Singh, stated that in response to Jain's bail application before the trial court, the ED informed that the AAP leader has “accepted that he had lost his memory due to severe Covid” and “the news of losing the memory is covered by all media sources and it is very much in the public domain”. “Continuing an unsound person with so many important portfolios of the Government is cheating the voters of Delhi, who have elected a person with clean image and good mental health… Respondent No 5 is holding an important portfolio in Government and because of his mental illness/unsound mind/memory loss the public of the NCT of Delhi will suffer a lot,” the petition said. The petitioner thus asserted that in light of of Article 191 of the Constitution of India clearly, which mandates that an MLA has to be disqualified if he is of “unsound mind and stands so declared by a competent court, Jain cannot continue holding the important portfolio of a Delhi Cabinet minister and enjoying the post of an MLA.
