Introduction
The Enforcement Directorate may issue its fourth summons to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal after examining his reply regarding his refusal to appear before the agency in the alleged excise policy case.
Summons to Arvind Kejriwal
Kejriwal had refused to depose before the ED for the third time on Wednesday, saying the “non-disclosure and non-response approach” of the agency cannot sustain the test of law, equity, or justice and this “obstinacy” of the ED tantamounts to assuming the role of judge, jury, and executioner.
