New Delhi [India], April 9 (HBTV): Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will move the Supreme Court against the decision of the Delhi High Court dismissing the plea challenging his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate in the Excise Policy money laundering case, sources said on Tuesday.  

According to sources, the Aam Aadmi Party does not agree with the decision of the Delhi High Court.

The Delhi High Court on Tuesday dismissed Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's plea challenging his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with the excise policy case and said that Kejriwal's arrest is not in contravention of Law and remand can't be termed "illegal".  

The bench of Justice Swarna Kanta Sharma said, ED was in possession of enough material, which led them to arrest Kejriwal. The non-joining of the investigation by Kejriwal and, delay caused by him were also impacting those in judicial custody.  

The material collected by the Enforcement Directorate claimed that Arvind Kejriwal allegedly ‘conspired’ and was ‘actively involved in the use and concealment of proceeds of crime.’ The ED case also reveals that he was involved in his personal capacity as well as the convener of the Aam Aadmi Party.  

The court stated that the accused person has been arrested and his arrest and remand have to be examined as per law and not as per the timing of elections. Kejriwal's challenge to the timing of arrest before general elections in the absence of any mala fide on the part of ED is not sustainable, said the court.
