US EditionDelhi HC Stays Trial Court Remarks Against CBI in Excise Policy Case, Issues Notice on Kejriwal-Sisodia Discharge Plea
- Delhi High Court on Monday stayed the trial court's adverse observations and issued notice to Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and 21 others on the CBI's plea, scheduling a March 16 hearing.
- After a special court discharged the accused last week, Special Judge Jitendra Singh sharply criticised the CBI probe and refused cognisance, prompting the CBI to appeal.
- The CBI alleges a 'chain of conspiracy' and says the excise policy was 'tailor-made' to fund Goa elections, citing alleged private aircraft flights during Covid.
- Because ED trials rely on predicate offences, the CBI said it would immediately appeal and sought an immediate stay, while the HC ordered deferment of ED proceedings pending its decision.
- Because ED offences depend on a predicate offence, HC's intervention will determine if proceedings linked to the CBI's probe of the excise policy can continue.
