Delhi HC Sets CBI Revision for Hearing Next Week, Gives Accused Final Chance to Reply

Parallel ED proceedings continue with a fresh court notice to Arvind Kejriwal in a summons case.

Overview

  • The Delhi High Court will resume the CBI’s challenge to the trial court discharge next week after granting a final window for remaining replies.
  • Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and Durgesh Pathak told Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma they will not appear after she declined to recuse.
  • The court issued notice to the CBI on a plea that seeks to lift its stay on the trial court’s call for departmental action against the agency’s investigating officer.
  • Accused Vijay Nair filed an application claiming the CBI’s revision is invalid because it was not filed through an authorised public prosecutor or backed by proper authorisation.
  • In a separate track, the court ordered a fresh notice to Kejriwal on the ED’s appeal against his acquittal in cases over alleged non-compliance with PMLA summons.
