Delhi HC denies Kejriwal protection from coercive action in ED case

The Delhi High Court on Thursday refused to grant Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal any protection from coercive action in an excise policy-linked money laundering case.

A bench of Justices Suresh Kumar Kait and Manoj Jain listed the AAP leader’s application seeking



protection for further consideration on April 22 when his main petition challenging the summons is fixed for hearing.

“We have heard both sides and we are not inclined at this stage (to grant protection). The respondent is at liberty to file reply,” the bench said.
