Delhi High Court to Hear Kejriwal's Petition Challenging ED Summons

Delhi High Court will hear Arvind Kejriwal's petition on October 23, challenging the Enforcement Directorate's summons related to a money laundering case tied to an excise policy. Kejriwal's rejoinder is awaited, while ED argues the petition is now infructuous following his arrest.

The Delhi High Court will hear on October 23 Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's petition challenging the Enforcement Directorate's summons in a case linked to an excise policy and money laundering.

The hearing, previously deferred, saw Justice Prathiba M Singh note that Kejriwal's rejoinder to the ED's reply was not on record. The senior counsel for Kejriwal claimed the rejoinder had been 'circulated' but might not be on the court's record. The ED's lawyer reiterated that the petition was now infructuous.

Justice Singh, along with Justice Amit Sharma, stated, "Let the rejoinder be brought on record. List on October 23."
