Delhi excise policy case: Arvind Kejriwal moves court seeking NOC for passport renewal
NEW DELHI: Former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, an accused in the Delhi excise policy case, moved court on Thursday seeking a no objection certificate (NOC) for the renewal of his passport. Special Judge Dig Vinay Singh issued notice to Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and sought their replies by June 4, the next date of hearing. Kejriwal's counsel told the court that his passport expired in 2018 and he has moved the application seeking its renewal for 10 years. The CBI, meanwhile, told the judge that it is ready for arguments on framing of charges in the corruption case related to the alleged excise policy scam. While the corruption case linked to the now-scrapped Delhi Excise Policy 2021-22 is being probed by the CBI, a money laundering case is being investigated by the ED. The money laundering case stems from the CBI's FIR which was lodged after Delhi Lt Governor V K Saxena recommended a probe into the alleged irregularities in the implementation of the policy. According to the CBI and the ED, irregularities were committed while modifying the excise policy and undue favours were extended to the licence holders. The Delhi government implemented the policy on November 17, 2021, and scrapped it by the end of September 2022 amid allegations of corruption.

Delhi excise policy case: Arvind Kejriwal moves court seeking NOC for passport renewal; ED, CBI asked to respond by June 4
Arvind Kejriwal, an accused in the Delhi excise policy scam, has applied to a Delhi court for an NOC to renew his passport, which expired in 2018, seeking a 10-year renewal. The court has sought responses from the ED and CBI by June 4. NEW DELHI: Former Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, an accused in the Delhi excise policy scam, on Thursday approached a city court seeking a No Objection Certificate (NOC) for the renewal of his passport. Special Judge Dig Vinay Singh issued notices to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), asking them to respond by June 4, the next date of hearing. Kejriwal's counsel informed the court that his passport had expired in 2018, and the AAP chief was seeking a 10-year renewal. CBI ready for arguments on charge framing Meanwhile, the CBI told the court it is prepared to argue on the framing of charges in the corruption case linked to the now-scrapped Delhi Excise Policy 2021-22. While the CBI is probing the corruption angle, the ED is investigating the money laundering charges arising from the same FIR. The case stems from a complaint filed after Delhi Lt Governor VK Saxena recommended a probe into alleged irregularities in the implementation of the excise policy. According to investigators, undue favours were extended to liquor licence holders through changes made in the policy. The Delhi government had implemented the new excise regime in November 2021, but it was rolled back in September 2022 following allegations of corruption.

CBI claims accused in excise policy case delaying trial
New Delhi: CBI submitted before a Delhi court on Friday that the accused in the alleged scam involving the formulation and implementation of the Delhi Excise Policy 2021-22 are attempting to delay the trial. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now After hearing the matter for over three hours, the court of special judge Dig Vinay Singh scheduled the matter for May 22 to decide on the issue of supplying a complete list of unrelied documents to the accused. Various accused have moved an application, demanding a complete list of unrelied documents. In legal terms, unrelied documents refer to documents that investigating agencies or prosecutors possess but do not intend to use as evidence in a trial. The court was hearing arguments from CBI and the accused about the supply of unrelied documents. The case, which is at the stage of scrutiny of documents, includes former CM Arvind Kejriwal and deputy CM Manish Sisodia as accused, along with others. Arguments on charge are yet to begin, and it is only after they conclude that the trial will commence. The prosecution has blamed the accused for causing a delay by moving various applications, while the accused have argued that the agencies have concealed some documents which could lead to their discharge in the case. DP Singh, special public prosecutor appearing for CBI, submitted before the court that they were bombarded with emails regarding doubts about the documents. "We have already given them all the documents. They are stalling the proceedings. Let them inspect documents, but this should not come in the way of arguments on charge," Singh said. "If they think (accused persons) that we purposely did not make some documents relied upon, why haven't they moved an application regarding the same?" the SPP asked further. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Meanwhile, advocate Adit S Pujari, appearing for Amandeep Singh Dhall, an accused in the case, submitted before the court that CBI was suppressing a document which his client needed if he were to be discharged. The counsel appearing for another accused, Vinod Chauhan, told the court that CBI is causing delays and there is a deliberate concealment on their part. tnn
