Challenging his arrest in an excise policy case…
Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal has petitioned the SC to challenge his arrest by the CBI in the corruption case linked to the alleged liquor policy scam.
The petition filed before the top court challenges the decision of the Delhi High Court dismissing CM Kejriwal's plea against CBI arrest and subsequent remand.
On Monday, senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi mentioned the matter before CJI DY Chandrachud for an urgent hearing.
At this, CJI Chandrachud asked the senior counsel to send mail to the registry. “Send an email, I will check it,” the CJI said.
In its impugned decision, a bench of Justice Neena Bansal Krishna of the Delhi HC said that it cannot be said that the arrest was without any justifiable reasons or was illegal.
The Delhi High Court is yet to pronounce its decision on a bail plea filed by the AAP supremo in connection with the CBI case and recently, reserved its verdict on July 29.
Earlier, the CBI filed its charge sheet before a special court against the AAP supremo and many other accused.
The ED had already filed its complaint in the money laundering case, naming the AAP and its national convener Arvind Kejriwal as prime accused.
