New Delhi. Former Chief Minister of Delhi and Aam Aadmi Party convenor Arvind Kejriwal has now filed a petition in the Delhi High Court in the liquor policy scam case. In fact, Kejriwal has approached the Delhi High Court challenging the lower court’s order to take cognizance of the chargesheet of the Enforcement Directorate (ED). The petition of former CM CM is likely to be listed for hearing on Thursday. AAP convenor Kejriwal has sought instructions from the High Court to cancel the trial court order. For this, Kejriwal has said that the special judge had taken cognizance of the charge sheet in the absence of any sanction to prosecute the former Chief Minister of Delhi.
Let us tell you that Arvind Kejriwal was arrested by ED on March 21 this year in a money laundering case related to the liquor policy scam. After Kejriwal’s arrest, AAP leaders and workers created a lot of hue and cry. After this, the Supreme Court had given relief to Kejriwal by accepting his interim bail plea on May 10 for campaigning in the last Lok Sabha elections. Kejriwal had also campaigned after coming out of jail. After this he surrendered. A few days later, he was arrested by CBI from ED custody.
On July 12, the Supreme Court granted interim bail to Arvind Kejriwal in the ED case but due to the CBI case, he could not come out of jail. Kejriwal challenged the CBI arrest in the Delhi High Court but the High Court upheld the CBI arrest. Subsequently Kejriwal challenged the High Court order in the Supreme Court. On September 13, the Supreme Court granted conditional bail to Arvind Kejriwal in the CBI case and he came out of jail.
