New Delhi: The Delhi High Court, which was making oral comments on the situation of the Delhi government due to the arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, on Monday made them a part of the order. While making arrangements for the expenses of books, stationery etc. of the new session for the children of MCD schools, the court said, Kejriwal’s decision to remain on the post of CM is personal. Their absence cannot become a hindrance in the education of school children. This is the constitutional and statutory right of school children. The MCD Commissioner should immediately bear the necessary expenses for these responsibilities without being constrained by the limit of Rs 5 crore. The expenditure will depend on legal audit.Delhi came to a standstill due to Kejriwal’s arrest: High Court
