A petition has been filed in the Delhi High Court concerning alleged violations of the court's video conferencing regulations by Sunita Kejriwal, the wife of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, and others.
According to the plea, Sunita Kejriwal and others unlawfully recorded the proceedings of the trial court during Chief Minister Kejriwal's appearance on March 28, 2024, and subsequently shared the recordings on social media platforms.
The petitioner, Vaibhav Singh, a practicing lawyer, asserts that such actions not only breached authorized recording protocols but also violated the court's directives.
The plea highlights the dissemination of the recorded audio/video segments with the hashtag #MoneyTrailExposedByKejriwal on various social media platforms.
It suggests that these actions may be part of a larger conspiracy to tarnish the judiciary's reputation and mislead the public perception of the judiciary's independence from government influence.
The recordings, reportedly around 9-9:30 minutes long, captured Arvind Kejriwal narrating his account and presenting facts before the special judge.
The plea alleges that members of the Aam Aadmi Party and other opposition parties deliberately recorded and shared these proceedings to manipulate public opinion about the court's integrity.
The petitioner seeks legal action against those involved in recording and disseminating the court proceedings without authorization. The plea underscores the significance of upholding the sanctity of court proceedings and preventing any attempts to manipulate or misrepresent judicial processes for political gain.
The petition before the Delhi High Court raises concerns about the unauthorized recording and sharing of trial court proceedings, emphasizing the need to uphold the integrity of judicial proceedings and prevent any attempts to influence or manipulate them for political purposes.
