The Delhi High Court, on Monday (2nd Dec) led by Justice Manoj Kumar Ohri, will hear former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia’s plea against the ED’s charges on December 20. Sisodia argues that the charges lack prior sanction under CrPC due to his public servant status, echoing the Supreme Court’s ruling that requires such approval for prosecution.
The Enforcement Directorate informed the Delhi High Court that it has secured the necessary sanction to prosecute former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in a money laundering case linked to the 2021 Delhi Excise Policy. Kejriwal’s counsel challenged the trial court’s cognizance due to alleged lack of sanction, prompting further hearings.
