The Delhi High Court has given a final chance to Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and others to respond to the ED’s plea seeking removal of adverse trial court remarks in the excise policy case. The Court warned that if no reply is filed, the right to respond will be closed and arguments will be heard on April 22.
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.
