The bench also issued a\u00a0notice to Uttar Pradesh government on Kejriwal\u2019s appeal against the Allahabad High Court order asking him to first appear before the trial court and then seek a personal exemption on subsequent dates of hearing.<\/p>\n<p>A trial court at Amethi had recently issued a bailable warrant against Kejriwal after refusing to grant him personal exemption from appearance in the case. Senior advocate Rajeev Dhavan, appearing for the Aam Aadmi Party convenor, said Kejriwal should have been granted exemption from personal appearance as in such cases, an accused can be allowed to be represented through his lawyer. Referring to various provisions of CrPC, he said the magistrate can dispense away with the presence of the accused.<\/p>\n<p>The case was filed against the politician under Section 125 of Representation of People\u2019s Act for allegedly making an inflammatory speech during Lok Sabha polls on May 2, 2014. The section deals with the offence of promoting enmity between classes in connection with election on grounds of religion, race, caste, community or language and entails imprisonment for a term which may extend to three years, or fine, or both. In his petition before the apex court, Kejriwal said that the alleged speech came under the purview of right to expression and hence, no offence was made out.<\/p>\n<p>He also sought a direction to quash the order of the court of a judicial magistrate of Amethi, which dismissed his petition for exemption of his personal attendance. The case was lodged against the Kejriwal at Musafirkhana police station of Amethi in May last year during the parliamentary election in connection with his speech at Aurangabad village.<\/p>\n<p>Later, a bailable warrant was issued against Kejriwal on July 20 this year, directing him to be present before the judicial magistrate. He then approached the HC which turned down his plea.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>( Source- PTI )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a relief to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Supreme Court on Tuesday granted him exemption from personal appearance before a magisterial court at Amethi in Uttar Pradesh in a case of alleged inflammatory speech made by him in the run-up to 2014 Lok Sabha polls. \u201cThe attendance of the petitioner is dispensed away with [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":38299,"featured_media":37757,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[2934,146,31987,33959,33960,47765],"class_list":["post-39122","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-top-law-news","tag-arvind-kejriwal","tag-court","tag-featured","tag-kejriwal-exempted-from-appearance-in-amethi-court","tag-legal-india","tag-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
