SC issues notice, postpones hearing in Kejriwal’s arrest for two weeks
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday reserved the arguments in the Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s plea against a high court order that has upheld his arrest in a money-laundering case stemming from the alleged excise policy scam.
A bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta issued notices in the case which are returnable on the week commencing April 29, 2024.
The bench turned down Kejriwal’s plea for listing on this Friday (April 19).
In a massive blow to the chief minister, the high court on April 9 upheld his arrest in the money-laundering case, saying the Enforcement Directorate (ED) was left with “little option” after he skipped repeated summonses and refused to join the investigation.
