The Delhi Assembly Secretariat is examining if a petition to Lokayukta claiming that details of assets and liabilities were not furnished by the ruling AAP MLAs invites proceedings for contempt and breach of privilege of the House.

Based on the petition by advocate and RTI activist Vivek Garg's complaint, the office of Loakyukta has issued notices to all the MLAs of Delhi Assembly asking them to furnish details and submit their replies till January 28.

Delhi Assembly Speaker Ram Niwas Goel said on Tuesday that the Assembly Secretariat is "examining whether baseless and unsubstantiated allegations raised by the petitioner(Garg) invite proceedings against him for contempt and breach of privileges of the House as well as its members(MLAs)."
