The Delhi High Court on Wednesday (April 1, 2026) sought former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s stand on a plea by the Enforcement Directorate challenging his acquittal in two separate cases lodged against him for not appearing before the agency despite summonses issued in the excise policy case.
Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma issued notice to the Aam Aadmi Party leader on two pleas by the ED against the trial court’s January 22 orders, and posted the matter for hearing on April 29.

The agency alleged in its complaint in the trial court that the then Chief Minister intentionally disobeyed it by not responding to summonses and did not attend the probe. It also alleged that Mr. Kejriwal raised frivolous objections and deliberately created grounds for not attending the probe.
In its decision, the trial court said the ED failed to prove that Mr. Kejriwal intentionally disobeyed the summonses issued to him.
