Excise Scam: ED To Respond To K Kavitha’s Bail Plea By Aug 22, ED Tells SC

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) informed the Supreme Court on Tuesday that it will submit its response to BRS leader K Kavitha’s bail plea by August 22. This plea is related to a money laundering case tied to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam.

Additional Solicitor General S V Raju, representing both the ED and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), informed a bench of Justices B R Gavai and K V Viswanathan that the CBI has already filed its counter affidavit. Raju added that the ED’s response is in progress and will be filed by August 22.

The Supreme Court has scheduled the next hearing for August 27.

Earlier, on August 12, the Supreme Court sought responses from the CBI and ED regarding Kavitha’s challenge to a Delhi High Court ruling on July 1. The High Court had denied her bail, stating that she appeared to be one of the main conspirators in the criminal conspiracy related to the now-repealed Delhi Excise Policy 2021-22.

The CBI and ED have filed separate cases involving alleged corruption and money laundering in the creation and implementation of this policy.

Kavitha, 46, was arrested by the ED on March 15 from her Banjara Hills residence in Hyderabad. The CBI later arrested her on April 11 from Tihar jail concerning the corruption case. Kavitha has denied all the allegations against her.
