Delhi, 14 March (H.S): Delhi Chief Minister #ArvindKejriwal has taken a significant legal step by moving the sessions court to challenge the summons issued to him by a lower court on two complaints filed by the #EnforcementDirectorate (ED) in relation to a money laundering case.
The Additional Sessions Judge Rakesh Syal is expected to hear Kejriwal’s applications later in the day. Kejriwal’s move comes after Additional #ChiefMetropolitanMagistrate (ACMM) Divya Malhotra directed him to appear before the court on March 16. The ED had filed two complaints against Kejriwal for failing to comply with multiple summons sent to him in connection with the case. The latest complaint focuses on Kejriwal’s non-compliance with summons number four to eight, while the earlier complaint was for not attending the first three summons related to the now-abolished Delhi excise policy.
The agency has listed the matter for hearing on March 16, along with the other complaint. The ED has stated that Kejriwal has failed to attend eight summons issued so far. This legal battle between the Delhi CM and the ED will certainly be closely watched as it unfolds in court.
