Delhi HC reserves order on petition seeking SatyendarJain’s removal as MLA

Hindustan Times  

The Delhi high court on Tuesday reserved its order on a plea seeking the disqualification of Aam Aadmi Party leader Satyendar Jain as a lawmaker on the grounds of him allegedly being of “unsound mind”, following his arrest in a money laundering case. The petitioner asserted that in light of Article 191 of the Constitution, which mandates that an MLA should be disqualified if he is of “unsound mind and stands so declared by a competent court”, Jain cannot continue holding the portfolio of a Delhi Cabinet minister and working as an MLA. A bench comprising chief justice Satish Chandra Sharma and justice Subramonium Prasad, after hearing the arguments, said it will pass “appropriate orders” on the plea by one Ashish Kumar Srivastava, who claimed that Jain “himself declared that he lost his memory” before the Enforcement Directorate. His plea said that in response to Jain’s bail application before the trial court, the ED said that the AAP leader “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”.
