A Delhi court has acquitted former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in two cases filed by the Enforcement Directorate over alleged non-compliance with summons in the excise policy matter. The court ruled that Kejriwal cannot be prosecuted merely for skipping ED summons, with the detailed order awaited.
The Delhi High Court has scheduled May 8 to hear the Enforcement Directorate’s plea challenging bail granted to former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the excise policy-linked money laundering case. The court has also directed that the trial court records be called for review before the hearing.
Former Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal has filed a court application for a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to renew his expired passport, which has been invalid since 2018. The court has requested responses from the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) before the next hearing on June 4 amid ongoing investigations into the Delhi excise policy case.

The Supreme Court of India today (11th Dec) has relieved Aam Aadmi Party leader Manish Sisodia by removing a bail condition that required him to report to investigators twice weekly in the Delhi Excise Policy case. Sisodia’s bail was originally granted in August 2024, amid allegations of corruption related to the excise policy.

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 Supreme Court today reserved judgment on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s bail plea in the Delhi excise policy case, a CBI investigation. Legal teams argued over the trial court’s initial consideration and Kejriwal’s bail status. The case concerns potential manipulation of liquor policy for campaign funding. Kejriwal remains in custody despite earlier bail.
Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma of the Delhi High Court lauded the new criminal laws for reflecting Indian values, particularly the Hindu principle of repentance. She emphasized the shift from punishment to justice, citing the incorporation of community service for minor offenses. Sharma’s support for the laws stems from their alignment with Indian culture.
