Today, the Delhi High Court sought responses from several AAP leaders, including Arvind Kejriwal, and BRS leader K Kavitha, regarding the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) appeal against a trial court order.

The order directed the ED to provide "unrelied documents" to those accused in the alleged money laundering case connected to the excise policy.

The bench headed by Justice Manoj Kumar Ohri issued notices to all 40 accused, including Kejriwal, AAP leaders Manish Sisodia and Sanjay Singh, and several businessmen, on the ED’s petition and its request for a stay on the trial court’s decision. The matter is set for further hearing on January 30, 2025.

The trial court had ruled in November that the ED must share the chargesheet and digital records of "unrelied documents"—those not used by the prosecution— with the accused. The ED contended that this directive conflicted with the Supreme Court's guidelines, which require only a list of unrelied documents at this stage, not the documents themselves.

The case is scheduled for a hearing in the trial court on December 21. The money laundering case stems from an investigation into alleged irregularities in the modification of the excise policy, which the Delhi government enacted in November 2021 and scrapped in September 2022 following corruption allegations.
