The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is all set to move the Delhi High Court on Friday against the Rouse Avenue court's judgement granting bail to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in a money laundering case related to the Delhi excise policy, official sources said on Thursday. The federal agency made the decision soon after the Rouse Avenue court on Thursday granted bail to Kejriwal in the case. Vacation judge Nyay Bindu granted bail to Kejriwal on furnishing bail bond of Rs one lakh.
As per the source, ED will move its plea against the judgement on Friday morning as the Rouse Avenue court refused the request of the agency to postpone the process of filing a bail bond for 48 hours. Kejriwal was arrested by the ED on March 21 in connection with a money laundering case relating to alleged irregularities in the now-cancelled Delhi excise policy 2021-22.
The Delhi Chief Minister had been granted interim bail by the Supreme Court on May 10 in view of Lok Sabha polls and was told to surrender on June 2. The Delhi High Court had earlier dismissed Kejriwal's plea for release from jail and rejected his argument of political vendetta amid the Lok Sabha elections. (ANI)
