Delhi Excise Policy Case : BRS Leader K Kavitha Withdraws From Supreme Court Her Plea Against ED Summons
Delhi Excise Policy Case: BRS leader K Kavitha withdraws appeal against ED summons of 2023
by Supreme Court. The Supreme Court today allowed withdrawal of Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) leader and former Telangana CM K Kavitha's plea against ED summons in connection with the Delhi excise policy case. The petition was dismissed as withdrawn by Justices Bela M. Trivedi and Pankaj Mittal, leaving petitioner Kavitha free to seek appropriate relief in accordance with the law. During the hearing, Senior Senior Vikram Chaudhry, who appeared on behalf of Mr Kavitha, stressed that the letter was frivolous and could be treated as such. "Now that I have been arrested, I will consider all my requests as new matters," the senior prosecutor said.
On the same day i.e. March 15, law enforcement agencies received a report of Kavitha's arrest. According to her arrest memo, the investigating agency arrested her at 5:20 pm at her residence in Banjara Hills, Hyderabad. On March 16, a Delhi court remanded the BRS leader to ED custody till March 23. Kavitha appeared in court, where she claimed her arrest was illegal and she plans to fight it in court. riefly stated, the central agency is currently investigating Kavitha's role in influencing the now-scrapped liquor policy in the national capital and related bribery allegations. In March last year, her writ petition was tagged with a 2018 plea filed by Nalini Chidambaram, senior advocate and wife of former finance minister P Chidambaram, who approached the top court after the Madras High Court refused to quash the ED summons against her in the Saradha chit fund scam case. Kavitha has filed a separate writ petition in SC.
