NEW DELHI: Today(on 8th July), The Delhi High Court issued notices to Tihar Jail authorities and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in response to a plea filed by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, seeking permission for additional meetings with his legal team. The notice was issued by Justice Neena Bansal Krishna, who has sought responses from both Tihar Jail and the ED.
Kejriwal argued that he is currently entangled in 35 legal cases across the country, necessitating more frequent meetings with his legal team to formulate an effective legal strategy. Currently, Kejriwal is permitted to meet with his legal team only twice a week.

Initially, Kejriwal had approached the trial court with a request to increase the number of his legal meetings to four per week, citing the extensive legal challenges he faces. He proposed that these additional meetings could be conducted through virtual conferences.
However, Special Judge (PC Act) Kaveri Baweja denied the request. In her decision, Judge Baweja highlighted that Kejriwal had previously filed a similar plea, which had also been rejected by the court.
Following the trial court’s rejection, Kejriwal escalated the matter to the High Court, challenging the special court’s order.
