ED summons: Delhi CM gets no immediate HC relief

The Delhi High Court has refused to grant immediate relief on the petition filed by Arvind Kejriwal challenging summons issued by ED. Despite the arguments of Kejriwal’s lawyers, the court has asked the ED to state its stand and has directed the next hearing of the case on April 22.

Earlier, ED lawyers told the court that in the petition of AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal, some provisions of the PMLA have been challenged, which is not maintainable because according to the Act, ED proceedings cannot be challenged.

Can be given.

A bench headed by Justice Suresh Kumar Kait gave two weeks’ time to the ED to file its reply on this aspect.

Actually, ED had sent ninth summons to Kejriwal against which his lawyer Abhishek Manu Singhvi appeared before the court.

Along with protection from arrest, he also raised the question before the court whether political parties come under the purview of money laundering law.
