Supreme Court won't hear Kejriwal's plea before Monday
Kejriwal on Wednesday moved the Supreme Court against the Delhi High Court order rejecting his plea challenging arrest in the alleged liquor policy scam case. However, the Supreme Court said that there won't be any special bench to hear Kejriwal's plea before Monday. A while ago, Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud asked the Delhi Chief Minister to mail him the plea documents.
The move by Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) convenor has come after the Delhi High Court on Tuesday dismissed former's petition challenging his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the trial court order remanding him to the agency's custody.
The matter pertains to alleged corruption and money laundering in formulating and executing the Delhi government's now-scrapped excise policy for 2021-22.
