The Gujarat High Court rejected Arvind Kejriwal’s appeal against the order that upheld a Rs 25,000 cost in the PM Narendra Modi degree controversy, confirming the earlier ruling.
The Gujarat High Court on Tuesday dismissed the appeal filed by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the PM Narendra Modi degree case, affirming the earlier decision that imposed a Rs 25,000 cost on the opposition leader.
The case stems from allegations that Kejriwal had falsely claimed a degree from a university, a matter that has been a point of contention between the central government and the opposition.
By upholding the cost, the court effectively reinforced the earlier judgment that Kejriwal must pay the amount as a penalty for the alleged misrepresentation.
No further legal action has been announced by either side, and the case remains closed pending the court’s final order.
