The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Monday (March 30, 2026) moved the Delhi High Court challenging the acquittal of former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in two separate cases lodged against him for not appearing before the agency despite summonses issued in the excise policy case.
The ED’s appeal against the trial court’s January 22 orders is listed for hearing before Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma on Wednesday.
The agency alleged that the then Chief Minister intentionally “omitted to obey them by not responding to summonses and did not attend the probe”.
It also alleged Mr. Kejriwal raised frivolous objections and deliberately created grounds for not attending the probe.
In its decision, the trial court said that ED failed to prove that Kejriwal intentionally disobeyed the summonses issued to him.
