delhi-cm-trapped-in-his-own-web Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal looks trapped in his own web. A Delhi court Tuesday summoned him as an accused for allegedly giving false information in the election affidavit he filed during the 2013 Assembly elections. Stating that Kejriwal, prima facie, "wilful concealed" and "suppressed" details in the affidavit, Metropolitan Magistrate Snigdha Sarvaria directed him to appear before it on July 30. "There is sufficient material on record to summon accused Arvind Kejriwal for offences, punishable under Section 125-A of the Representation of People (RP) Act, 1951, Section 31 of the Representation of People Act, 1950 and Section 177 of Indian Penal Code, committed by him before holding the office of Chief Minister of Delhi. Thus, let summons be issued to accused...," said the magistrate. The orders follow a criminal complaint filed by Neeraj Saxena on behalf of NGO Maulik Bharat Trust. Summoning Kejriwal, the magisterial court said the allegation that he falsely gave his address as one in Delhi - in order to qualify for contesting the polls in the capital - while he was living at Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh "prima facie amounts to wilful concealment, suppression and furnishing of false information..." "Thus there is sufficient ground for proceeding against the accused under Section 31 of the RP Act," said the court. "The factum of concealment of proper address by giving improper address, so that the proper/correct address remains untraceable, and also giving improper valuation of the said same property, prima facie amounts to wilful concealment and suppression and also furnishing of false information. Thus, there is sufficient ground for proceeding against accused," said the magistrate.
