A Delhi Court Today (April 15th) has remanded BRS leader K Kavitha to judicial custody till April 23 in the case registered by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) over the alleged liquor policy scam.
The Delhi High Court Today (April 8th) rebuked a former AAP MLA-Sandeep Kumar who approached the court seeking instructions to oust Arvind Kejriwal from his position as CM of Delhi. This move came subsequent to Kejriwal’s arrest by the ED in connection to the money laundering case linked to the Delhi excise policy scam.
BRS leader K Kavitha Today (April 6th), filed a court motion opposing the CBI’s request to question her in Tihar jail regarding a corruption case tied to the alleged scam. The court granted the CBI permission to interrogate Kavitha in Tihar jail, following the agency’s plea filed seeking permission for her interrogation in judicial custody.
A Delhi court Today (April 4th) reserved its order on the interim bail plea of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader K Kavitha in the money laundering case linked to the Delhi excise policy scam. Special Judge (PC Act) Kaveri Baweja from the Rouse Avenue Courts reserved verdict following arguments presented by Kavitha and ED.
The ED asserted to the Delhi High Court Today (April 3rd) that Arvind Kejriwal, cannot use the approaching Lok Sabha elections or his CM status as grounds for special treatment in his money laundering case. The ED counsel analogized by questioning, “Consider a scenario where a terrorist, also a politician, detonates an army vehicle and claims immunity to contest elections. What logic is this?”
Former SC Justice Ajay Rastogi emphasized the importance of public morality and suggested that Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal should resign following his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate. Rastogi highlighted legal aspects, prison regulations, and the moral obligation for government officials in custody. Kejriwal was arrested for alleged money laundering related to the Delhi liquor policy.
Senior Advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi Today criticized the actions of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the case of K Kavitha, accusing them of unfairness and harassment. The advocate argued for bail, stating that Kavitha’s arrest was unnecessary and that the ED reneged on their undertaking to the Supreme Court. The case is scheduled for further hearing on April 4. Kavitha, a leader of Bharat Rashtra Samithi, is accused in the Delhi excise scam case and is currently in judicial custody until April 9, with a plea for interim bail filed.
