New Delhi: Three applications were  filed on Wednesday in the Delhi High Court with one of them seeking to restrain ex-CM Arvind Kejriwal from moving into his new house as a tenant at posh Civil Lines area here.

The remaining two applications seek initiation of contempt and perjury actions against the part owner of the disputed property for allegedly violating court orders, by renting out the premises to Mr Kejriwal.

The applications were mentioned before a joint registrar of the HC who listed the matter before the concerned court for hearing on July 1.

The petitions were filed by Virender Kumar Jain, who claims to have 50 per cent share in the property where Mr Kejriwal plans to shift as a tenant.

Virender’s brother Narender Kumar Jain said, “It is for the court to decide.”

Mr Kejriwal, however, said that he was unaware of the controversy and he will not shift to his new accommodation till the legal issues are resolved.
