Delhi High Court seeks CBI's response on BRS leader K. Kavitha's bail plea in corruption and money laundering cases.
The Delhi High Court on April 16 sought the stand of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on BRS leader K. Kavitha's bail plea in a corruption case in connection with the alleged excise policy scam.
Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma issued notice to the CBI on the plea and listed the matter for further hearing on May 24 along another petition by Ms. Kavitha seeking bail in the Enforcement Directorate's (ED) money laundering case.
The high court also issued notice and sought the CBI's response on another plea by Ms. Kavitha against a trial court order which allowed the probe agency to interrogate her in custody.
Ms. Kavitha is in judicial custody in both the cases lodged by the ED and the CBI in relation to the alleged scam. She was represented by senior advocate Vikram Chaudhari and lawyer Nitesh Rana.
Her bail application in the ED case is pending before the high court which has asked the agency to file its reply.
She had challenged the trial court's May 6 order by which her bail applications in the corruption case as well as the money laundering case were dismissed.
The "scam" pertains to the alleged corruption and money laundering in the formulation and implementation of the Delhi government's excise policy for 2021-22 which was later scrapped.
