Delhi liquor policy case: HC refuses to grant interim protection from coercive action to CM Arvind Kejriwal

Delhi High Court has refused to grant interim protection from coercive action to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in an excise policy-linked money laundering case. The court said at this stage we are not inclined to grant an interim relief. The court listed the AAP leader's application seeking protection for further consideration on April 22 when his main petition challenging the summons is fixed for hearing. The court sought a response from ED on this fresh interim plea.

Kejriwal's name has been mentioned multiple times in the charge sheets filed by the ED. The agency has alleged that the other accused were in touch with Kejriwal for formulating the excise policy that resulted in undue benefits to them in return for which they paid kickbacks to the AAP.
