Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo Arvind Kejriwal has moved the Supreme Court (SC) against the Delhi High Court’s order rejecting his petition against his arrest in the liquor policy case.
Kejriwal was arrested on March 21 by the Enforcement Directorate in relation to the excise policy case.
Earlier on Tuesday, the Delhi High Court rejected Kejriwal’s petition contesting his arrest by the ED related to the excise policy case. The court stated that Kejriwal’s arrest did not violate the law and cannot be deemed “illegal,” including the remand.
“We have challenged the illegal arrest of Arvind Kejriwal. The High Court in its finding has said that the remand order is legal and, secondly, they said that they had grounds to arrest. These were the findings of the High Court in today’s decision. Because the order is amenable to a challenge in the Supreme Court, we are waiting for the order to come. Once the detailed order is uploaded, we will challenge it before the Supreme Court as early as possible,” he was quoted as saying by the sources.
