The AAP has moved the Delhi High Court against an order by the Lieutenant-Governor to recover ₹97 crore allegedly spent by the Delhi government on advertisements.
The party in its plea has sought quashing of the demand notice issued on March 30 by the Delhi government's Department of Information and Publicity (DIP) on L-G Anil Baijal’s direction.
Violation of SC order
The L-G had ordered the Chief Secretary of the Delhi government to recover the amount from the AAP within a month.
The party has also sought setting aside of a report by the Centre-appointed three-member committee, which had held that the Delhi government had splurged exchequer’s money on advertisements projecting Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his party in violation of the Supreme Court guidelines.
