A Delhi court on Thursday granted exemption to Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia in the Delhi excise policy case. The case, filed under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), came before Special Judge Digvinay Singh at Rouse Avenue Court.
Lawyers told the court that both leaders are busy with flood relief in Punjab. Counsel for Kejriwal said he is visiting affected areas to coordinate aid and provide urgent help.
Sisodia’s plea explained that he is in Punjab as AAP’s Prabhari. He is helping residents in districts hit by floods.
Right now, the special court is focusing on document scrutiny. At the same time, the Delhi High Court is hearing a related appeal against an earlier order.
This decision lets both leaders continue their flood relief efforts while the case proceeds in court.
