The Enforcement Directorate on Monday moved the Delhi High Court against the acquittal of Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal in two cases filed against him for not complying with the summonses issued to him in the liquor policy case, PTI reported.
Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma will hear the matter on Wednesday.
On January 22, a trial court acquitted the former Delhi chief minister in the two cases filed against him for not appearing before the central agency. It held that the Enforcement Directorate had failed to prove that Kejriwal intentionally disobeyed the summonses.
Kejriwal was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in March 2024. Till then, he had been summoned nine times by the law enforcement agency in connection with alleged irregularities in the Delhi government’s now-scrapped liquor excise policy.
The chief minister had skipped all nine summonses.
In July 2024, the Supreme Court granted him interim bail in the case. However, he remained in jail as he had been arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation in the same case in June 2024. He was eventually released from jail in September 2024 after the Supreme Court granted him bail in the second matter.
