Why hold assembly session outside, Delhi HC asks Kejriwal govt

The bench asked counsel representing the government to apprise it whether the lt governor approved of holding an assembly session in a stadium.

The court's order came on a plea filed by Kedar Mandal, an assistant professor in Delhi University, against the decision of the government to hold the assembly session outside the designated premises saying it will incur an expenditure of Rs.50 lakh.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has decided to hold an open assembly session on the Jan Lokpal Bill at Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium starting from Feb 14.
