Today (29th April): The Supreme Court questioned Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal for not filing a bail plea in the trial court regarding an excise scam case. Kejriwal’s arrest by the Enforcement Directorate is being challenged in court. The court has raised concerns about the absence of a bail application, with Kejriwal’s lawyer citing various reasons, including the assertion that the arrest was illegal.
Former minister V Senthil Balaji has filed a plea in the special court seeking discharge from the Enforcement Directorate’s money-laundering case, while maintaining that the allegations against him lack evidence and are unsubstantiated. The judge has accepted the plea and asked the ED to respond by March 4, extending Balaji’s judicial remand till then.
