The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is set to deal with a demanding legal schedule at Delhi’s Rouse Avenue court today, with cases involving four prominent leaders, including Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal listed for hearing.
Three leaders — Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, and Sanjay Singh — may appear before the court physically in the excise policy case, while Satyendar Jain, accused in a disproportionate assets case, is likely to appear virtually.
Arvind Kejriwal summoned by court
The Rouse Avenue Court had summoned Kejriwal for February 17 after the Delhi Chief Minister skipped multiple summonses issued by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a money laundering case linked to the excise policy case. The court noted that the AAP chief was “legally bound” to comply with the summons.
Manish Sisodia in Rouse Avenue Court
Former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia is scheduled to appear before the court of Special Judge MK Nagpal in relation to the money laundering case. He will appear as his judicial custody period expires today.
Manish Sisodia’s plea seeking regular bail will also be heard by the court. Sisodia, who was earlier denied bail by the Supreme Court, has applied for bail in cases registered against him by the CBI and the Enforcement Directorate over the alleged scam.
Sanjay Singh to appear in Delhi Excise Policy case
Senior AAP leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh, who is also accused in a money-laundering probe linked to the excise policy case, is slated to be produced before the Rouse Avenue court. His judicial custody period also expires on Saturday.
Disproportionate Assets aase against Satyendar Jain
Delhi’s Rouse Avenue court is also scheduled to hear the disproportionate assets case registered against Satyendar Jain. The CBI, in its case, has accused Jain of amassing disproportionate assets amounting to Rs 1.47 crore.
