Today, the Delhi High Court took a significant step in the legal battle surrounding Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with the alleged liquor policy scam case. The court issued a notice on Kejriwal’s plea challenging his arrest and the subsequent six days of remand in the money laundering case.
However, Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma refrained from granting any immediate relief to the sitting Chief Minister, opting instead to issue notice on his interim application seeking immediate release. The court’s decision comes amidst a heated legal confrontation surrounding Kejriwal’s arrest and detention.
During the proceedings, Additional Solicitor General SV Raju, representing the ED, highlighted that Kejriwal’s counsel had failed to provide the agency with a copy of the petition in a timely manner. Raju emphasized that the late submission of the petition necessitated the Enforcement Directorate to prepare a response and address certain crucial facts pertinent to the case.
The developments in the courtroom underscore the intense legal battle unfolding in the wake of Kejriwal’s arrest, with both sides vigorously presenting their arguments before the judiciary. The issuance of notice on Kejriwal’s plea marks a crucial phase in the ongoing legal saga, as stakeholders await further proceedings and decisions from the Delhi High Court.
As the legal battle continues to unfold, the outcome of Kejriwal’s plea and subsequent court proceedings will undoubtedly have significant implications for the broader political landscape and the pursuit of justice in high-profile corruption cases. Stay tuned for further updates on this evolving legal matter.
