SC To Deliver Verdict On Arvind Kejriwal's Plea Challenging His Arrest Today

A two-judge bench of the apex court comprising Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta had reserved the verdict on May 17.

Supreme Court is set to deliver its verdict on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s petition against his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with the money laundering case linked to the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy on Friday. 

As per the cause list of July 12 uploaded on the apex court's website, a two-judge bench of the apex court comprising Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta will deliver the verdict on May 17.

On May 17, the SC bench, also comprising Justice Dipankar Datta, had reserved its verdict on Kejriwal's plea. The SC in April this year sought a response from the ED on Kejriwal’s plea challenging his arrest in the money laundering case.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief has challenged in the top court the April 9 order of the Delhi High Court that had upheld his arrest in the case.

Meanwhile, the Delhi High Court on Thursday listed Kejriwal's petition for hearing challenging the summonses issued to him by the ED on September 9. A bench headed by Justice Prathiba M Singh granted four more weeks to the AAP leader to file a rejoinder to the reply submitted by the ED. 

Kejriwal was arrested on March 21 by the ED in the money laundering case. On June 20, he was granted bail by a trial court here on a personal bond of Rs 1 lakh in the case. However, the ED had moved the Delhi High Court the next day and contended that the trial court's order granting bail to Kejriwal was perverse, one-sided and wrong-sided and that the findings were based on irrelevant facts. 

The matter relates to alleged corruption and money laundering in the formulation and execution of the Delhi government's excise policy for 2021-22, which has now been scrapped.
