Arvind Kejriwal's Arrest Shocks Nation.!
However, it's noted that the Constitution provides immunity only to the President and Governors from criminal proceedings during their term of office. Article 361 explicitly states that the President and Governors are not answerable to any court for acts performed in their official capacity and cannot be arrested for criminal offenses while in office. Legal action against them can only be initiated after their retirement.
Regarding the arrest of a chief minister, procedural aspects outlined in the criminal Procedure Code 1973 (CRPC) must be adhered to. While members of parliament enjoy immunity from arrest for 40 days before and after the sitting of parliament in civil cases, this protection does not extend to criminal cases. Kejriwal's arrest has sparked discussions on legal and constitutional principles surrounding the immunity of public officials and the accountability of elected representatives under the law.
