Former Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren on February 1 urged the Supreme Court to hear his plea against his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
Appearing before a Bench headed by Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud, senior advocates Kapil Sibal and A.M. Singhvi said such arrests of sitting Chief Ministers “affect the polity of the country”.
Chief Justice Chandrachud agreed to consider listing the case before an appropriate Bench on February 2.
