NEW DELHI: A Delhi court, on Thursday, acquitted former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in two cases filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) seeking action against him for alleged non-compliance with the federal anti-money laundering agency's summons in connection with the Delhi excise policy case.

Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate (ACJM) Paras Dalal of the Rouse Avenue Courts passed the judgment.

A detailed copy of the court order is awaited.

The ED had moved the magisterial court accusing Kejriwal of deliberately skipping summons issued under Section 50 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) in relation to the probe into the alleged excise policy "scam".
