Delhi HC reserves order on plea to disqualify arrested AAP Minister Satyendar Jain

The Hindu  

The Delhi High Court on August 16 reserved its order on public interest litigation seeking to declare AAP leader Satyendar Jain, arrested in a money laundering case, as a “person with unsound mind” and thus disqualify him from being a Member of the Legislative Assembly and a minister. The petitioner, Ashish Kumar Srivastava, claimed in his plea that Mr. Jain has “himself declared that he lost his memory” before the Enforcement Directorate and informed the same to the trial court as well. The plea, filed through lawyer Rudra Vikram Singh, has stated that in response to Mr. 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 a clean image and good mental health. The petitioner thus asserted that in light of Article 191 of the Constitution clearly, which mandates that an MLA has to be disqualified if he is of “unsound mind and stands so declared by a competent court, Mr. Jain cannot continue holding the important portfolio of a Delhi Cabinet Minister and enjoying the post of an MLA.
