Court defers hearing on K Kavitha’s bail plea in Delhi Excise policy case

The Rouse Avenue court on Friday deferred hearing on Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader K Kavitha‘s plea seeking default bail in Delhi Excise policy case.

Special judge Kaveri Baweja listed the matter on July 22 for further hearing.

On Monday, the court issued notice to the Central Bureau of Investigation on K Kavitha’s plea. Advocate Nitesh Rana represented K Kavitha.

He had submitted that while considering the charge sheet for the purpose of cognizance on July 6, it was specifically dictated by the court that the charge sheet was



defective.

It was submitted that the applicant seeking default as the CBI has failed to file a complete charge sheet within a mandatory period of 60 days. It was also submitted that she should be granted default bail in the matter and interim bail during the pendency of the present bail application.

Notably, Kavitha’s earlier regular bail applications were dismissed by the trial court and High Court.

She was arrested by the CBI on April 11 in the Delhi Excise Policy case. Prior to this, she was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on March 15.
