The Delhi High Court pulled up the Aam Aadmi Party government over the non-supply of books to the students of the schools run by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi. The HC remarked that the continuation of Arvind Kejriwal as the CM of Delhi even after his arrest has put political interest over national interest. The court observed that the AAP-led Delhi government was ‘interested in the appropriation of power’. The court’s observation came on the contention of the Delhi government counsel who said that the matter requires certain approvals from Kejriwal who is in custody. Arvind Kejriwal is currently lodged in Tihar jail in the alleged money laundering case related to the 2021 excise policy.“I am sorry to say you have placed your interest above the interest of the students, the children that are studying. That is very clear and we are going to give that finding that you have placed your political interest at a higher pedestal….It is very unfortunate that you have done this. It is wrong and that is what has got highlighted in this matter,” said the bench of Acting Chief Justice Manmohan and Justice Manmeet P S Arora.
