Delhi High Court refuses to advance hearing on Arvind Kejriwal's money laundering case, sets date for December 20.
The Delhi High Court on Friday (December 6, 2024) refused to advance the hearing on a petition by AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal challenging a trial court's order taking cognisance of a chargesheet filed against him in a money laundering case.
Justice Manoj Kumar Ohri said, "matter will be heard on the same date (December 20). I have a lot on the board to hear." Mr. Kejriwal had sought the date of hearing on his petition be advanced from December 20.
After the court declined to change the date, Kejriwal's counsel pleaded that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) be directed to a supply copy of its reply to the petition in advance.
"Whatever you file, give it to them also," the court told the ED's lawyer.
On November 21, the high court refused to stay at that moment the trial court proceedings against Kejriwal in the money laundering case.
The High Court had issued notice and sought response of the ED on the plea by the former Delhi chief minister.
Mr. Kejriwal sought setting aside of the trial court order and argued that the cognisance of the chargesheet was taken by the special court in the absence of any sanction for his prosecution, which was required, as he was a public servant when the alleged offence was committed.
