New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is expected to move court against Union Cabinet`s decision to to keep the Delhi Assembly in suspended animation, reports said on Tuesday.

Lashing out at Lt Governor Najeeb Jung for not recommending dissolution of the House as per the Cabinet`s decision, Arvind Kejriwal, who resigned as Delhi Chief Minister, said that he was "openly flouting" the decisions taken by a majority government, PTI reported.
"I am questioning the logic of his decision (of not recommending dissolution of the House)," Kejriwal said, adding that the constitution says that he is bound by the decision taken by the Cabinet of a majority government.

President Pranab Mukherjee has imposed President`s rule in Delhi and accepted the Arvind Kejriwal government`s resignation, an IANS report said.
Arvind Kejriwal resigned Friday after his party`s efforts to introduce the Jan Lokpal bill aimed at curbing corruption in high places was stalled.

The Kejriwal government, which survived on outside support of the Congress, lasted 49 days.
