Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)’s Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha got a big relief from the Delhi High Court on Tuesday (October 17). The court said that Raghav Chadha will not have to vacate the existing Type-7 government bungalow. The High Court cancelled the lower court’s decision to lift the interim stay on the proceedings of the Rajya Sabha Secretariat.
Justice Anup J Bhambhani, who is hearing the case, said that the stay order passed by the lower court against the Rajya Sabha Secretariat will remain intact. This stay will remain in force until the trial court decides on his application for interim relief.
