Former Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit on Wednesday sought quashing of the trial court order to lodge FIR against her in a graft case, contending in the Delhi High Court that such proceedings cannot be continued against a Governor.

Advocate M. Pracha, appearing for Ms. Dikshit, said as per Article 361(2) of the Constitution there is a bar on criminal proceedings against a Governor.

Ms. Dikshit is currently the Governor of Kerala and as per Article 361 (2) of the Constitution “no criminal proceedings whatsoever shall be instituted or continued against the President, or the Governor of a State, in any court during his term of office”.

A bench of Justice Sunil Gaur, however, adjourned the matter to July 23 as the advocate for the complainant, BJP leader Vijender Gupta, was not present owing to some illness.

Looks like BJP does not want to pursue the case further.

Was this case by Delhi Government or AAP or BJP? From where does BJP leader come in to picture?
 
Is it, then what happened to FIRs filed by AAP government? All scrapped already?! :D
 
Another news says that she denied about resigning! I would not trust her though!

I guess a deal has been signed that no criminal cases would be initiated against her. I do not see why she would resign now otherwise.
