Delhi High Court to Hear ED Plea Against Arvind Kejriwal's Bail in Excise Case
The Delhi High Court will hear the Enforcement Directorate's plea on Monday challenging bail granted to former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the 2021-22 excise policy-related money laundering case. Kejriwal received interim bail from the Supreme Court in July 2024, while the High Court had earlier stayed his trial court bail. The case involves alleged irregularities in the excise policy, which was scrapped after a CBI probe was ordered. Kejriwal was arrested by the ED and CBI in 2024 in related cases.
