Delhi HC Seeks ED’s Response On Delhi CM Kejriwal’s Plea Against 9 Summons

The AAP national convenor’s petition, which also challenges some of the provisions of Prevention of Money Laundering Act, was deemed unmaintainable by the investigative agency.

Senior advocate AM Singhvi, representing Kejriwal, argued that the petition raises questions, including whether a political party is subject to the anti-money laundering law.

Furthermore, in his reply to the court’s question about the AAP leader’s absence from the summons, the senior advocate said that protection from coercive action is necessary due to the agency’s clear intent to apprehend him during the elections around the corner.

Kejriwal has constantly refused to appear for the summons, calling them “illegal”.

While talking to the news agency PTI on this issue, AAP leader Atishi said, “Whether these summons are legal or illegal, that court will decide… The matter is under consideration in Delhi Rouse Avenue Court and High Court.”
