The Delhi High Court has overturned a previous order that deemed former CM Arvind Kejriwal's rent relief announcement during the Covid-19 lockdown legally enforceable.

The Bench held that the demand to implement the Chief Minister's announcement made on March 29, 2020, is not valid in law and therefore stands rejected. It also pointed out that this assurance was not part of any official order, including the Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) Order issued on the same day, which has never been challenged.

Raghav Chadha Updates: He was once considered a close confidant of AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal and was among the youngest MPs.
