Delhi Court Reserves Order on Arvind Kejriwal’s Bail Plea in Excise Policy Scam
A Delhi court has withheld its decision on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s petition seeking bail in a money laundering case linked to the alleged irregularities surrounding the defunct excise policy. The case is currently under investigation by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
Arvind Kejriwal, represented by his legal counsel, appeared before the court seeking relief in light of the ongoing probe into financial misconduct associated with the erstwhile excise policy. The court’s reserved order on Kejriwal’s bail plea follows extensive arguments presented by both the defense and prosecution.
Additionally, the court also deferred a decision on another application filed by Arvind Kejriwal, seeking permission for his wife, Sunita Kejriwal, to attend his medical board examination via video conference. This request underscores the procedural intricacies amidst the legal proceedings.
The Delhi excise policy scam has drawn significant attention due to allegations of financial impropriety during the policy’s tenure, subsequently leading to its cancellation. The ED’s scrutiny of the case seeks to ascertain any potential money laundering activities linked to the accused.
Arvind Kejriwal, a prominent political figure, continues to face legal challenges amid these developments, with the court expected to announce its decision shortly regarding both the bail plea and the video conference participation request.
