Revision plea says trial court ‘erroneously discharged’ accused
A special court on Monday issued notices to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, and other Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) members in a case of assault on former Delhi Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash in 2018.
Special Judge Geetanjali Goel issued the notices after a revision petition was filed in the court challenging an August 11 order by a trial court discharging Mr. Kejriwal and 10 other accused in the case, calling it “erroneous”.
The revision plea, filed through advocate Kumar Vaibhav, stated that the trial court had erroneously discharged the 11 accused and that Metropolitan Magistrate Sachin Gupta had carried out a “miscarriage of justice” by not looking into the statements in the case.
