Kejriwal candidature in question

The Delhi High Court yesterday issued notices to Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal, Election Commission, Delhi Chief Electoral Officer and others on a writ petition questioning the legality of his candidature from the New Delhi seat for the upcoming Assembly elections.

Congress candidate from New Delhi, Kiran Walia, has moved the petition alleging Kejriwal had submitted a false affidavit to the Election Commission in regard to his home address only to be able to run for the Delhi polls.

Walia contended that the AAP chief's name should be deleted from the list of candidates as well as the electoral rolls and a probe be ordered into the matter.
