New Delhi: The Supreme Court Thursday dismissed the police plea against the Delhi High Court order asking it to supply the copy of statement of a witness to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and 11 other MLAs in a case related to alleged assault of the then chief secretary Anshu Prakash in 2018.
A bench headed by Justice D Y Chyandrachud rejected Delhi Police’s plea, saying that as per the basic principle of natural justice, there must be a “robust common sense” that the accused must have the copy of the statement of the witnesses.
The criminal case relates to alleged assault on Prakash during a meeting at Kejriwal”s official residence on February 19, 2018.
Kejriwal, Sisodia and nine other AAP MLAs were granted bail in October 2018 .
The other two MLAs, Amanatullah Khan and Prakash Jarwal, were granted bail earlier by the high court. The alleged assault had triggered a bitter tussle between the Delhi government and its bureaucrats.
