The High Court on Tuesday refused to entertain a public interest litigation petition seeking a high-level inquiry against Aam Aadmi Party and Arvind Kejriwal.
A Division Bench of Acting Chief Justice Vipin Sanghi and Justice Navin Chawla remarked that the petition was ‘completely frivolous’ and asked the counsel appearing for the petitioner to not file such petitions.
The plea was filed by Congress leader Jagdish Sharma, seeking an investigation into the allegations that AAP and its national convenor Kejriwal have links with a banned Khalistani organisation named Sikhs For Justice (SFJ), and have received funds from it as well.
The petition had sought suspension of AAP’s recognition, and a ban on it from contesting any elections till the inquiry is complete.
The allegations had come a few days before the Punjab Assembly elections 2022.
