Delhi High Court asks Tihar Jail to respond to AAP MP's plea on meeting Kejriwal, citing prison rules.
The Delhi High Court on Wednesday (September 4, 2024) asked the Tihar Jail authorities to file response on a plea by AAP MP Sanjay Singh claiming that he was not being allowed to meet Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in prison.
Mr. Singh said jail authorities denied him a physical meeting with Mr. Kejriwal in prison on grounds that he was an ex-prisoner.
Justice Neena Bansal Krishna granted three days to the jail authorities to file their response to the petition, and listed the matter for hearing on September 9.
Mr. Kejriwal is lodged in Tihar jail under judicial custody in the alleged excise policy scam.
During the hearing, senior advocate Rahul Mehra, representing Mr. Singh, submitted that his client was a Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament and he was denied physical meeting on the ground that he was an ex-prisoner.
He claimed that Mr. Kejriwal has serious medical health conditions and his family wishes to meet him to check on his health.
“The way the jail superintendent was dealing with things shows the shocking state of affairs. I am an undertrial and a sitting MP and I am giving an undertaking which I will not violate,” he submitted.
