In a recent legal development, the Delhi High Court has directed Sunita Kejriwal, wife of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, to remove a video recording of her husband's court appearance from her social media accounts. This decision comes as part of a larger directive to take down posts related to the video from various social media platforms.

The Delhi High Court has directed the Centre to make a decision regarding the allotment of office space to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) within six weeks. The court emphasized that AAP is entitled to space for its party office in Delhi, similar to other political parties.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is set to make history in India's legal landscape as it becomes the first political party to be named an accused in a case. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has informed the Delhi High Court that AAP will be included as an accused in the alleged liquor policy scam, which has already led to the imprisonment of three key leaders, including party chief and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

The Delhi High Court has rejected a petition seeking permission for Arvind Kejriwal to set up his chief minister's office in jail, imposing a fine of ₹ 1 lakh on the petitioner. The petitioner, advocate Shrikant Prasad, filed the PIL requesting facilities for virtual conferencing and uninterrupted governance from judicial custody. However, the court deemed the petition 'not maintainable,' citing ongoing legal proceedings concerning Mr. Kejriwal's arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and his plea for interim release in the Supreme Court.

In a recent judgment, the Delhi High Court made a significant observation regarding the accountability of individuals in cases of suicide due to relationship issues. The court stated that a woman cannot be held responsible for abetting the suicide of a man if he takes his own life because of "love failure."

The Delhi High Court has declined Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's request for an urgent hearing on his petition challenging his arrest and the Enforcement Directorate's custody order for seven days.

The Delhi High Court dealt a blow to Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Mahua Moitra on Friday, dismissing her plea aimed at restraining the Enforcement Directorate (ED) from allegedly leaking information related to a Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) case against her. Justice Subramonium Prasad dismissed Moitra's petition after the federal agency refuted claims of releasing any press releases or divulging information to the media.

In a sizzling legal showdown, the iconic Indian dishes, Butter Chicken and Dal Makhani, are at the center of a fierce battle between Moti Mahal and Daryaganj restaurants, as they lock horns in the Delhi High Court over the tagline "Inventors of Butter Chicken and Dal Makhani."

The Delhi High Court refrained from providing immediate relief to Mahua Moitra, an expelled Trinamool Congress (TMC) Member of Parliament, who sought to annul the directive compelling her to vacate her government residence by January 7. The court cited the pending plea challenging her expulsion from Parliament in the Supreme Court, stating that addressing her current petition could potentially interfere with the apex court's proceedings.

The Delhi High Court has issued an order restraining the forest department from conducting the "Walk with Wildlife" walkathon and cyclothon scheduled at the Asola Bhatti Wildlife Sanctuary. This decision follows concerns about potential threats posed by leopards to the participants. Justice Jasmeet Singh pronounced the order after expressing dissatisfaction with the department's lack of knowledge about the leopards' whereabouts.

The Delhi High Court has dismissed the petition of Newsclick founder Prabir Purkayastha and human resource head Amit Chakraborty, who challenged their arrest under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. The court upheld their arrest and remand, despite arguments that the grounds for arrest were not provided and the remand order lacked proper legal procedures.

The Delhi High Court has upheld the conviction of Ariz Khan for his role in the 2008 Batla House encounter, which resulted in the killing of Inspector Mohan Chand Sharma. While the conviction is upheld, the death sentence has been commuted to life imprisonment, following a plea filed by Khan.

the founder of NewsClick, who was arrested under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) for allegedly receiving funds to spread pro-China propaganda, has vehemently denied the accusations, asserting that they are "false" and "bogus." Purkayastha made these statements during proceedings in the Delhi High Court, where he, along with Amit Chakravarty, the head of the news portal's human resources department, challenged their arrest and subsequent 7-day police remand.
