A court here has absolved Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal of charges of giving false information in an affidavit filed in run up to 2013 assembly polls. Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Samar Vishal discharged Kejriwal in the case saying "merely due to the fact that a person has other residential addresses apart from where he has enrolled himself as a voter, cannot be a ground to presume that he is not a resident of that place from where he registered as a voter".

It was alleged in the complaint that Kejriwal had filed a "false affidavit" along with his nomination papers before the Election Commission on November 16, 2013 for contesting the 2013-Delhi assembly election. The criminal complaint filed by Neeraj Saxena on behalf of the NGO, Maulik Bharat Trust, had alleged that Kejriwal had concealed his correct address and suppressed the market value of his property in his affidavit given before the Election Commission.
