The Gujarat High Court rejected Arvind Kejriwal’s appeal in the PM Modi degree case, maintaining the court’s earlier decision that he must pay a fine of Rs 25,000.
The Gujarat High Court on Tuesday dismissed a petition filed by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the ongoing PM Modi degree case. The court upheld the earlier ruling that Kejriwal must pay a fine of Rs 25,000 for the alleged violation of the law.
Kejriwal had sought to overturn the fine, arguing procedural errors and lack of evidence. The court found no merit in the appeal and reaffirmed the penalty as part of its enforcement of the legal provisions.
The ruling comes amid heightened scrutiny of the case, which has attracted national attention. Kejriwal’s supporters have expressed disappointment, while critics argue that the court’s decision reinforces accountability.
The Gujarat High Court’s order is expected to be the final word on the matter unless a higher appellate court is approached.
The case remains a focal point in the broader debate over political accountability and legal compliance in India.
