The Delhi High Court on Wednesday refused to entertain a plea seeking judicial intervention into the alleged assault on Delhi Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash by some Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs during a late-night meeting at Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s residence.
A Bench of Acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice C. Hari Shankar said the police was already looking into the incident and it would wait for the final outcome.
‘Police will take action’
“They [police] will take action in accordance with law. We will wait for the final outcome,” the Bench said, adding that both sides have a different story according to media reports.
The plea by advocate K. S. Wahi sought judicial intervention on the grounds that Delhiites would suffer if “elected [MLAs] and selected [bureaucrats]” fight among themselves.
“Both have to work in accordance with the rules.” the counsel submitted.
Mr. Wahi added that the alleged assault on Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash was premeditated and a “conspiracy” to deter the bureaucrat from discharging his lawful duty.
