The ED’s money-laundering probe against Kejriwal stems from a case registered by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in 2022 on a complaint made by Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena.
Kejriwal was arrested by the ED on March 21 and is presently lodged in Tihar Jail.
The ED had earlier submitted that Kejriwal cannot be treated differently from any other criminal merely because he is a politician.
Kejriwal's counsel later countered that although Kejriwal, being a Chief Minister, is not immune from prosecution, his rights are not inferior to the rights of any other person.
During an earlier hearing, the top court had questioned the ED on the timing of Kejriwal's ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
