Delhi High Court allows CM Kejriwal two extra virtual meetings with legal counsel per week while in jail.
The Delhi High Court has granted Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal permission for two additional virtual meetings with his legal counsel each week while in jail. The court emphasised that "special situations call for special remedies", affirming Kejriwal's right to a fair trial and effective legal representation. Kejriwal's counsel argued that he faces multiple cases across the country and requires the extra meetings for a fair trial via video conference. The plea faced opposition from the Enforcement Directorate and Tihar jail authorities, but the court ruled that Kejriwal's demand for additional meetings cannot be termed unreasonable.
