Tihar jail opposes Kejriwal’s request for add’l meetings with lawyers
Hindustan TimesNew Delhi Arvind Kejriwal in CBI custody. The Tihar jail superintendent opposed chief minister Arvind Kejriwal’s plea in the Delhi high court seeking additional meetings with his lawyers to discuss and plan strategies with regard to multiple litigations pending against him, saying that the Aam Aadmi Party supremo cannot be granted “special treatment”. Kejriwal had approached the high court against a city court’s order on July 1, rejecting his plea seeking two additional meetings with his lawyers through videoconferencing. In the order, the court said Kejriwal’s legal team failed to provide convincing reasons for the CM to be granted additional meetings, given that a previous plea was also dismissed. To be sure, the city court, on April 10, dismissed Kejriwal’s plea seeking five additional meetings with his lawyers.
