The India===Delhi High Court is actively hearing multiple pleas related to the Delhi liquor policy case. The India===Enforcement Directorate (ED) has challenged the acquittal of Arvind Kejriwal and others by a trial court in cases concerning non-compliance with summons and has also sought to expunge 'unwarranted' remarks made against it by the trial court. The ED argues that the trial court committed a 'grave error' in acquitting Kejriwal, citing clear evidence of summons service. Meanwhile, the India===Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has also challenged the trial court's order discharging all 23 accused, including Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia, in the corruption case linked to the scrapped excise policy. Arvind Kejriwal has further escalated matters by moving the India===Supreme Court of India, challenging the India===Delhi High Court Chief Justice's refusal to transfer the hearing of the CBI's plea from a specific bench, raising concerns about impartiality. The India===Delhi High Court has granted a final opportunity for responses and set future hearing dates for these matters.
