Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal will be in town today to appear before Kurla metropolitan magistrate’s court in connection with a case filed against him for holding a rally in the city in 2014 without the traffic police’s prior permission. Directing the agency to return the documents as sought by the Delhi government, he said “any recognition of absolute immunity and unlimited powers will tantamount to recognition of “divine power” which no authority on earth can enjoy”.

Sources said the Delhi government is contemplating to move court seeking “strict action” against the CBI officers who were part of the raid at the Delhi Secretariat on December 15. The judge said if the CBI is not able to disclose the reason why they want to retain these documents, then they have no right to keep them.
“Modi should now appologise” and admit the raid was wrong, Sisodia said.
The woman who threw ink at Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal at a public gathering here on Sunday was on Tuesday remanded in 14 days judicial custody by a court here. He claimed the files CBI had seized included those belonging to IT, Food & Supply and Transport Departments besides the In and Out registers of CMO and some files relating to transfer and postings.
“The CBI is bound to follow its manual and only necessary documents could be seized. The raid was to defame the office of Chief Minister”.

On 9 December past year, the Kurla court had granted Kejriwal permanent exemption from appearance in the case.
