Arvind Kejriwal's Review Petition Despite University Record Of PM Narendra Modi's Degree Not In Good Taste: Gujarat High Court

Live Law  

The Gujarat High Court has observed that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's persistence in challenging Prime Minister Narendra Modi's qualifications despite an undisputable record produced by the Gujarat University is not in good taste. While dismissing Kejriwal's review petition against its order setting aside CIC's direction to disclose information on degrees held by the Prime Minister, Justice Biren Vaishnav said, Senior Advocate Percy Kavina, appearing on behalf of Kejriwal, contended that the court's March order, stating that the degree was displayed on the website, was factually inaccurate. The proceedings were suo motu taken up by the CIC which clearly indicates that the applicant never persisted with the matter Solicitor General of India Tushar Mehta who appeared for Gujarat University argued that the grounds raised in the review application were clearly for extraneous reasons which would not justify exercising of review jurisdiction. The Court opined, “This court is of the opinion that once a finding is recorded by the competent court after hearing a particular litigant, the litigant can only take his legal remedy and recourse to law as may be available in law.” “The court is conscious that seeking a review is and could be a remedy available in law but looking to the grounds and the arguments raised before this court in the review application, it cannot be said that the applicant has sought to invoke this remedy purely with a view to seeking legal recourse,” the Court added while dismissing the review petition.
