Today, the Supreme Court will consider Kejriwal’s appeal against his arrest.

Senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi presented the case to Justice Khanna’s regular bench, who agreed to hear the matter.

A special Supreme Court bench is set to hear Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s petition against his arrest for alleged irregularities in the 2021-22 Delhi excise policy.

Abhishek Manu Singhvi, a senior advocate, presented Kejriwal’s plea to Chief Justice Dhananjaya Y Chandrachud before a special bench hearing for Bharat Rashtra Samithi leader K Kavitha.

Singhvi brought the case before Justice Khanna’s regular bench, who agreed to hear it, despite the special bench’s rise.

The special bench will reassemble later to hear Kejriwal’s petition against his arrest, with the Enforcement Directorate filing a caveat. Solicitor-general Tushar Mehta and additional solicitor-general SV Raju were present at Justice Khanna’s hearing.

The Supreme Court has rejected Kavitha’s bail plea in a money-laundering case involving alleged Delhi excise policy irregularities.

Kejriwal is scheduled to appear in a special court on Friday where the Department of Emergency will seek his custody.

The Delhi High Court arrested Kejriwal after his plea for interim protection was rejected, prompting the ED to question why he hadn’t sought anticipatory bail in the lower court.

Kejriwal skipped nine ED summonses due to their “illegal” nature, arguing that the ED did not specify the capacity he was called in, such as an accused, witness, chief minister, or national convener of the Aam Aadmi Party.
