CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: The Delhi High Court has decided to appoint senior advocates as amicus curiae in the ongoing excise policy case involving former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and other Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders, after the accused chose not to appear in the proceedings. The move is aimed at ensuring fair representation of their interests during the hearing of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) appeal against their discharge in the case. Arvind Kejriwal is among the key individuals linked to the proceedings, which continue to attract significant legal and political attention.
According to court proceedings, the decision was taken to maintain procedural fairness and ensure that the absence of the accused does not affect the judicial process. The appointed amicus curiae will assist the court by presenting neutral legal perspectives and ensuring that all relevant arguments are considered before a final decision is reached. Central Bureau of Investigation is challenging the earlier discharge order, and the High Court will examine the merits of the appeal with the assistance of the appointed legal experts.
The excise policy case has been under judicial scrutiny for several months and involves allegations related to policy formulation and implementation. The latest development highlights the court’s focus on maintaining balance, transparency, and due process in high-profile matters. The hearing is expected to continue once the amicus appointments are finalized, ensuring that the case proceeds with complete legal representation and fairness.
