The Delhi High Court has issued a fresh notice to Arvind Kejriwal, the Chief Minister of Delhi, in response to pleas from the Enforcement Directorate (ED) challenging his acquittal in two cases concerning his non-appearance before the agency. Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma noted that the previous notice had not been served, prompting the issuance of a new one. The ED claims that Kejriwal intentionally disobeyed summonses related to an investigation into the now-scrapped excise policy, which allegedly benefited certain individuals and resulted in kickbacks to the Aam Aadmi Party. The trial court had previously acquitted Kejriwal, stating that the ED did not prove he intentionally failed to appear. The matter is set for hearing on July 22, while Kejriwal remains on interim bail in the ongoing money laundering case.
