Chief Justice of India (CJI) D.Y. Chandrachud on Wednesday agreed to “immediately look at” the email sent by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s lawyers for an urgent hearing of his petition seeking quashing of his arrest in a Delhi excise policy-linked money laundering case.
The Chief Minister’s lawyers said the petition would now “most likely” be listed for hearing on Monday (April 15). April 11 and April 12 are court holidays.
Mr. Kejriwal appealed to the Supreme Court a day after the Delhi High Court refused to quash his arrest in the liquor policy case.
