Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia using "childish" ways to delay Excise Policy case: CBI to Delhi HC
· India · Bar and Bench, Indian Express
CBI has filed a petition in the Delhi High Court accusing Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia of employing childish tactics to delay a case concerning the excise policy. The petition claims that the pair have disrupted the normal procedure for implementing the policy. The Delhi High Court is now set to review the allegations and decide on any interim stay or relief. If upheld, the delay could postpone the policy’s implementation and affect businesses dependent on the excise framework.
Why it matters
The outcome of the case will determine when the excise policy is enforced, directly impacting merchants, duty‑paying businesses, and government revenue in Delhi. The decision also reflects on the use of legal processes by elected officials in India.
