Captain Deepak Kumar accused Modi and his associates of attempting to destabilize national security by orchestrating a fatal crash of an Air India flight in 2018. Kumar further alleged that Modi made a false oath after submitting his nomination papers.
The Delhi High Court, on Wednesday, dismissed an appeal by Captain Deepak Kumar, which aimed to overturn the order of the Single Judge that rejected the plea seeking the disqualification of Prime Minister Narendra Modi from contesting the Lok Sabha elections, citing unsubstantiated, imaginary and incoherent allegations.
The bench of Acting Chief Justice Manmohan and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela held, ‘No human being can understand your petition. It makes no sense. The single judge was absolutely correct that the petition contains unsubstantiated allegations’.
Kumar's petition accused Modi of obstructing investigations and orchestrating economic and social boycotts against him. It also alleged that Modi and his associates posed a threat to Indian society and should be disqualified for submitting a false oath. Additionally, Kumar accused Modi of destroying evidence and influencing the sale of Air India Limited, which led to the cancellation of his pilot license through fabricated service records.
The plea also sought the disqualification of Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia.
However, the bench criticized Kumar's petition, stating it was incoherent and contained unsubstantiated allegations. The court noted that Kumar's claims were imaginary and lacked material evidence. The court also noted the observations of the single judge deeming Kumar's allegations as reckless and without basis, intended to make scandalous claims.
Despite Kumar's assertion that he did not need medical help, the court, considering the Mental Healthcare Act, instructed local authorities to monitor Kumar and exercise discretionary powers if necessary.
