NEW DELHI: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday told the Delhi High Court that it will challenge the acquittal of AAP convenor and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in cases relating to alleged non-compliance with the federal anti-money laundering agency's summons in connection with the excise policy case.
The submission was made by Additional Solicitor General (ASG) S.V. Raju before the Delhi High Court after counsel for Kejriwal sought permission to withdraw a petition challenging the summons issued to him.
Kejriwal’s counsel said that the plea was no longer being pressed in view of the acquittal granted by the Rouse Avenue Court in the complaint cases filed by the ED over his alleged failure to appear before the federal anti-money laundering agency despite repeated summons.
