Supreme Court seeks responses from CBI and ED on BRS leader K. Kavitha's bail pleas in corruption cases.
The Supreme Court on Monday sought responses from the CBI and ED on BRS leader K. Kavitha’s pleas seeking bail in corruption and money laundering cases linked to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam.
A bench of Justices B.R. Gavai and K.V. Viswanathan agreed to hear Kavitha’s pleas challenging the Delhi High Court’s verdict denying her bail in these cases.
The bench posted the matter for further hearing on August 20.
The high court had on July 1 dismissed Kavitha’s bail pleas in both the cases, saying she was prima facie one of the main conspirators in the criminal conspiracy related to the formation and implementation of the now-scrapped Delhi Excise Policy 2021-22.
The case pertains to alleged corruption and money laundering in the formulation and implementation of the policy.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested Kavitha (46) from her Banjara Hills residence in Hyderabad on March 15. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrested her on April 11 in connection with the corruption case linked to the alleged scam.
Kavitha has denied the allegations.
