The Delhi Assembly Secretariat told the High Court that Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia’s challenge to the Privileges Committee summons in the ‘Phansi Ghar’ case is premature. It said the panel is only verifying facts and no breach of privilege or contempt proceedings have been initiated yet.
Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia have approached the Delhi High Court challenging the Privileges Committee summons over alleged misuse of Rs 1 crore public funds to renovate the so-called “Phansi Ghar” inside the Assembly. The AAP leaders claim the proceedings are unconstitutional and beyond the committee’s powers.
