HC grants ED last chance to oppose Kejriwal’s bail

The Delhi High Court on Tuesday granted the Enforcement Directorate (ED) its last opportunity to argue for the cancellation of bail to Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convenor Arvind Kejriwal in the Delhi excise policy case, after ED counsel Vivek Gurnani sought an adjournment from a bench led by justice Ravinder Dudeja, citing the unavailability of Additional Solicitor General SV Raju.

Kejriwal’s lawyer, Vivek Chaudhari, opposed the plea, arguing that the matter had already been adjourned nine times at the agency's request. He contended that the repeated delays were a tactic by the ED to prolong the proceedings.

However, the bench granted ED the last opportunity and fixed November 10 as the next date of hearing.
