Kejriwal government's request to keep Anti-Corruption Bureau chief MK Meena from entering office rejected by Delhi High Court. The court ruled that Meena will remain ACB head and function in accordance with the law.


Intensifying its battle against the Lt Governor and the Centre, the Delhi Government had on Saturday urged the High Court  to issue directions to restrain LG- appointee ACB chief MK Meena from entering his office and "interfering" with the functioning of the anti-graft body.


The Aam Aadmi Party government had filed a fresh application in the ongoing litigation challenging the Centre's notification giving Lt Governor Najeeb Jung absolute powers to appoint bureaucrats in the capital, after AAP government- nominated Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) chief S S Yadav accused Meena of threatening and pressuring him.

The face-off between the LG and Arvind Kejriwal's government had resulted in the ACB now having two chiefs.

In its application filed through standing Counsel Raman Duggal, the city government alleged that "M K Meena has been misusing his powers to browbeat and threaten officials of ACB and the Vigilance Department.
