New Delhi: A week after a Delhi court ordered registration of an FIR against former CM Arvind Kejriwal, former MLA Gulab Singh and MCD councillor Nitika Sharma for putting up large hoardings in Dwarka in 2019, Delhi Police on Tuesday failed to file a compliance report, as directed by court.
Meanwhile, police moved an application for the supply of a copy of the complaint and an application filed by the complainant to register an FIR, which was allowed by the court of additional chief judicial magistrate Neha Mittal. The court directed the SHO to obtain the certified copy and listed the matter for compliance on March 28.
On March 11, observing that prima facie a cognisable offence was committed, the court had directed the SHO concerned to register an FIR immediately under Section 3 of Delhi Prevention of Defacement of Property Act, 2007, and asked for a compliance report from police by March 18.
Under Section 3, the maximum punishment is imprisonment for one year and the maximum fine is Rs 50,000. The court was hearing an application filed by Shiv Kumar Saxena seeking registration of an FIR, alleging that in 2019, Kejriwal, Singh and Sharma misused public money by putting up huge hoardings in Dwarka at intersections, roads, electricity poles, boundary walls of DDA parks and other public places.
