Delhi High Court Dismisses Petition Seeking PM Modi’s Disqualification

Delhi, July 4, 2024 – The Delhi High Court has dismissed a petition seeking the disqualification of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, labeling the allegations as “figments of imagination.” The plea, filed by Captain Deepak Kumar, claimed that PM Modi, along with other high-ranking officials, conspired to kill him by planning the crash of an Air India flight.

A bench comprising Acting Chief Justice Manmohan and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela found the claims to be incoherent and lacking any material substance. In their judgment, they stated, “This court is of the opinion that the appellant, if not suffering from hallucination, is conjecturing facts and needs medical help.”

The court directed local law enforcement to monitor Kumar and suggested that he be treated for mental illness if necessary. This decision follows Kumar’s persistent claims that the Prime Minister and other officials had submitted false oaths and were involved in anti-national activities aimed at his assassination.

Kumar’s petition not only accused PM Modi but also implicated Union Ministers Amit Shah and Jyotiraditya Scindia, alleging they took false oaths of allegiance to the Constitution and committed acts of terrorism by attempting to kill him. His allegations included claims of social boycott and attempted murder with the aid of a retired Chief Justice of India.

The court highlighted the lack of coherence in Kumar’s petition and emphasized the need for medical intervention, underscoring the necessity of monitoring under the Mental Health Act. The ruling mandates local authorities to keep a watch on Kumar and exercise their discretion under the Mental Health Act, ensuring he receives the required attention.

This judgment reinforces the judiciary’s stance on maintaining the integrity of legal processes and addressing frivolous claims with due seriousness. The court’s directive to law enforcement and medical authorities aims to balance the petitioner’s rights with public safety and order.
