The petition, filed by Delhi-based 'Society for Abatement of Ill-governance', sought a declaration from the court that neither the chief minister, nor the ministers of Delhi can summon any government servant other than those appointed and posted with them on co-terminus basis, beyond normal working hours.
The plea, filed through advocate K S Wahi, also sought to determine the culpability of the public servants in the issue.
AAP MLAs Prakash Jarwal and Amanatullah Khan were arrested in connection with the alleged assault on Delhi Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash during a meeting at Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence on the night of February 19.
"It appears the key purpose of convening midnight meeting at the residence of Chief Minister, Delhi was to intimidate Anshu Prakash (chief secretary), and through him, other government servants, implying thereby that any government servant disobeying orders/ directions of the Council of Ministers or the party workers shall be brutalised by party workers," the plea alleged.
