Arvind Kejriwal Will Be Allotted Appropriate Residential Accommodation Within 10 Days: Centre To Delhi HC

The Central government has assured the Delhi High Court that AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal will be provided suitable government accommodation within ten days, given his position as the National Convenor of the Aam Aadmi Party.

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta gave the assurance before Justice Sachin Datta, who agreed to record it in the court’s order.

AAP argued that under Rule 26 (iii), 2014 Office Memorandum, the national convener of a recognised party is entitled to one government residence, provided no other allotment exists.

The court added that if Kejriwal finds the allotted house unsatisfactory, he may approach the government again.
