The Delhi High Court has requested the Enforcement Directorate’s response to Arvind Kejriwal’s challenge against trial court summons related to the excise policy case. The next hearing is set for September 10, 2025, as Kejriwal contests the legality of previous orders concerning his summons in the ongoing investigation into alleged money laundering.
The Delhi High Court Today (Dec 4) sought the responses of several AAP leaders, including Arvind Kejriwal, and BRS leader K Kavitha on the ED’s plea challenging a trial court’s order directing it to supply “unrelied documents” to those accused in the alleged money laundering case related to the excise policy. Justice Manoj Kumar Ohri issued notices to all the 40 accused on the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) petition as well as its application for stay in the case.

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.
Arvind Kejriwal’s petitions against Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) summons were rejected by Special Judge Rakesh Syal. Kejriwal argued his non-appearance was unintentional, due to his duties as Chief Minister. The ED alleges deliberate disobedience and seeks his statement on Delhi’s Excise policy. The case involves allegations of bribery and misuse of funds.
