Summary:
The opening day of the Delhi Assembly’s Budget session Friday saw the BJP raising the prosecution sanction request in the JNU sedition case, which remains pending with the AAP government. The Delhi Police took three years to file the chargesheet in the case, but the court had refused to take cognizance in the absence of a prosecution sanction. AdvertisingThe four BJP legislators demanded to know from Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal the reason behind the “delay” in granting prosecution sanction, as sought by the Delhi Police. A magistrate court has fixed February 28 as the next date for hearing in the case. The per capita income of Delhi in 2018-19 is estimated at Rs 3,65,529, as compared to Rs 3,28,985 in 2017-18, indicating a growth of 11.11%,” Baijal said..
