Delhi High Court asks Centre to look into Aam Aadmi Partys accounts The Delhi High Court on Wednesday directed the Central government to go through the accounts of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to ascertain the source of its funds, and check if there was violation of law in the receipt of funding. A division bench of Justice Pradeep Nandrajog and V.K. Rao asked the Centres counsel to file a status report on the issue after looking afresh into the accounts of the party. The court has posted the matter for hearing on December 10. The court said: Go through the accounts again after the AAP was formed and in case you find anything in violation of FCRA (Foreign Contribution Regulation Act, 2010) take action, or inform the court about the status. The courts direction came on a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) seeking registration of a criminal case against AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal and others for allegedly receiving foreign funds in violation of law. The centres standing counsel Richa Kapoor on Wednesday also filed a report before the court, saying an evaluation of the accounts of the civil society team led by Anna Hazare was done in 2012, and a report was filed before another bench of this court in January this year in a similar PIL filed by the petitioner earlier.
