ASG SV Raju appeared for the ED, while Senior Advocate Ramesh Gupta and Advocate Rajiv Mohan appeared for Kejriwal1. The Court will hear this matter on April 11. Yesterday, the sessions court of the Rouse Avenue Court dismissed Kejriwal’s application, stating he would have to appear. The ED had sent him eight summons to join the probe regarding the Delhi liquor scam. However, Kejriwal didn’t appear before the probe agency, calling the summons illegal.
The ED then moved to court and lodged two separate complaints against Kejriwal. After hearing the arguments, the Court asked Kejriwal to appear before it on March 16. Meanwhile, Kejriwal challenged the Court order on the ED’s complaint, moving a plea before the sessions Court. However, his plea was dismissed.
