Kejriwal Rejects Assembly Summons, Cites SC Rulings on 'Gallows House' Dispute

• Arvind Kejriwal rejected summons from Delhi Assembly's Committee of Privileges regarding the 'gallows house' issue.
• He cited Supreme Court judgments, arguing the matter lapsed with the 7th Assembly's dissolution on February 7, 2025.
• Kejriwal stated the 8th Assembly lacks authority to summon on an old matter, violating constitutional bench decisions.
• He referenced 'Sita Soren vs Union of India (2024)', asserting the 'gallows house' investigation is not an essential function of the Assembly.
• Kejriwal requested a new date between March 2-6, 2026, due to prior engagements, expressing willingness to appear.
