The Delhi High Court, on Monday (2nd Dec) led by Justice Manoj Kumar Ohri, will hear former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia’s plea against the ED’s charges on December 20. Sisodia argues that the charges lack prior sanction under CrPC due to his public servant status, echoing the Supreme Court’s ruling that requires such approval for prosecution.
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.
