Delhi HC requests Kejriwal and Sisodia's response to CBI's plea challenging their discharge in the excise policy case.
The Delhi High Court on Monday (March 9, 2026) sought the stand of former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, his deputy Manish Sisodia and 21 others on a petition by the CBI challenging their discharge in the liquor policy case by the trial court.
Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma listed the CBI’s petition for hearing on March 16.
The court said it would pass an order asking the trial court to defer proceedings to a later date in the connected money laundering case probed by the Enforcement Directorate.
On a request made by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, the court further indicated that it would stay the operation of the “prejudicial” remarks by the trial court on the CBI officials.
Mr. Mehta urged the court to decide the CBI’s plea finally by fixing a time schedule for hearing.
He contended that the trial court order discharging Mr. Kejriwal, Mr. Sisodia in excise policy case was perverse and “turned the criminal law on its head”.
