The Delhi high court has dismissed an appeal that sought to debar Prime Minister Narendra Modi from the Lok Sabha, saying that the allegations made in the plea are “reckless and unsubstantiated“.
The decision was made by a bench consisting of Acting Chief Justice Manmohan and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela, who concurred with the earlier rejection of the petition by a single judge.
The division bench expressed concern for the appellant’s well-being and directed the relevant authorities, including the Station House Officer of the police station concerned, Sub-Divisional Magistrate, and District Magistrate, to monitor him in accordance with the provisions of the Medical Health Act.
The plea, filed by Captain Deepak Kumar, alleged that “Modi and his accomplices attempted to destabilise national security by planning a fatal crash of an Air India flight in 2018 which the petitioner commanded as a pilot.”
During the court proceedings, Kumar further alleged that “Modi, Union home minister Amit Shah and Union minister Jyotiraditya Scindia indulged in anti-national activities” and demanded that they be debarred from the Lok Sabha.
