The Delhi High Court on Wednesday reserved verdict on the plea moved by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal challenging his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the money laundering case related.
The bench had in February lifted the stay imposed by the Madras High Court on the summons issued by the ED against five district collectors in Tamil Nadu in connection with the sand mining scam case.
The Court also said that no person is entitled in law to evade the summons issued by the ED on the ground that there is a possibility of his arrest in the future.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday deprecated the non-appearance of five district collectors of Tamil Nadu before the Enforcement Directorate in connection with an ongoing money laundering probe, despite the court's order.
Amol Kirtikar had skipped the first summons served to him on Wednesday hours after the Shiv Sena (UBT) announced him as its candidate from Mumbai North-West in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
