The Supreme Court dismissed a petition seeking the removal of Arvind Kejriwal as Delhi Chief Minister over his arrest in an excise policy case. Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta stated that while propriety might be questioned, there's no legal basis for his removal. The court deferred to Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena for any potential action, emphasizing it wouldn't interfere. Notably, the petitioner, Kant Bhati, wasn't the original petitioner before the Delhi High Court. The bench concluded by dismissing the Special Leave Petition and refusing to intervene in the matter.
