The CBI has approached the Delhi High Court challenging the trial court’s order discharging Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and 21 others in the Delhi excise policy case. The appeal comes after the special court ruled that no prima facie case of conspiracy or criminal intent was made out.
A Delhi Court, while discharging Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and others in the excise policy case, criticised the ED for making arrests before the predicate offence is judicially tested. The Court warned that mechanical use of PMLA powers risks violating Article 21 and turning investigation into punishment.
Today, On 27th February, A Delhi court ordered action against a Central Bureau of Investigation officer in the excise policy case, saying departmental proceedings are needed to ensure accountability. The judge termed the investigation “pre-meditated and choreographed,” asserting the allegations were tailored to support a narrative.
New Delhi, March 21 – The Delhi High Court has declined to advance the hearing on the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) plea in the money laundering case linked to the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy. Justice Ravinder Dudeja, while addressing the request on Friday, stated that the court was dealing with several pending cases and it would not be possible to reschedule the hearing at an earlier date.
The Enforcement Directorate has implicated K Kavitha and AAP leaders, including Arvind Kejriwal, in a corruption case linked to a Rs.100 crore payment related to Delhi’s liquor policy. Delhi’s Lt. Governor has recommended prosecuting Kejriwal, raising political tensions as the case continues with upcoming hearings and investigations into alleged irregularities.
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.
