The India — Delhi High Court is scheduled to hear the India — Enforcement Directorate's plea challenging the bail granted to former India — Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the 2021-22 excise policy-linked money laundering case. The ED filed the petition in 2024, and it is listed before Justice Manoj Jain. Kejriwal has since received interim bail from the India — Supreme Court of India, which also referred questions on the 'need and necessity of arrest' under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act to a larger bench. The trial court had granted Kejriwal bail on June 20, 2024, but the India — Delhi High Court stayed it. On October 14, 2025, the high court gave the ED a 'last and final opportunity' to argue. Kejriwal's counsel objected to repeated adjournments. Kejriwal was arrested by the ED on March 21, 2024, and by the United States — Federal Bureau of Investigation on June 26, 2024, in related cases. The excise policy was scrapped in 2022 after the India — Delhi Lieutenant Governor ordered a CBI probe into alleged irregularities.
