NEW DELHI, Apr 29: The Delhi High Court on Wednesday issued a fresh notice to AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal on pleas by the ED challenging his acquittal in two separate cases lodged against him for not appearing before the agency despite summonses issued in the excise policy case.
\nJustice Swarana Kanta Sharma noted that according to the registry, the earlier notice issued to the former chief minister had not been served.
\nThe investigating agency\u2019s counsel said notice was issued to Kejriwal on April 1 but no one has entered an appearance on his behalf.
\n\u201cRegistry reports that (he is) not served. I will issue fresh notice. Respondent has not been served,\u201d the judge said, and listed the matter for hearing on July 22.
\nThe cases stem from the ED\u2019s complaint to the trial court that the then chief minister intentionally disobeyed the summonses issued to him by not joining the probe.
\nIt also alleged that Kejriwal raised frivolous objections and deliberately created grounds for not attending the probe.
\nIn the high court, the ED\u2019s counsel earlier submitted that the trial court \u201ccommitted a grave error\u201d as it acquitted Kejriwal despite no dispute that summons were duly issued and received but he did not appear before the agency.
\nIn its orders passed on January 22, the trial court ruled the ED failed to prove that Kejriwal intentionally disobeyed the summonses issued to him.
\nThe trial court held that \u201cNeither the service of summons through emails has been proved by the ED nor the process of issuing summons to any person under Section 50(2) of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) via email has been proved to be in accordance with the law.\u201d The ED has alleged that the other accused in the case were in touch with Kejriwal for formulating the now-scrapped excise policy that resulted in undue benefits to them and kickbacks to the Aam Aadmi Party.
\nKejriwal is presently on interim bail in the money laundering case, with the Supreme Court referring questions on the aspect of the \u201cneed and necessity of arrest\u201d under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) to a larger bench for an in-depth consideration.
\nOn February 27, the trial court discharged Kejriwal, Sisodia and 21 others in the liquor policy case, saying the CBI case was wholly unable to survive judicial scrutiny and stood discredited in its entirety.
\nThe CBI\u2019s plea against the discharge is pending in the high court.<\/p>\n
