A Delhi Court on Tuesday took cognizance of the supplementary chargesheet filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) against Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Aam Aadmi Party in the alleged liquor policy scam.
Special judge Kaveri Baweja of Rouse Avenue Courts took cognizance of the seventh supplementary prosecution complaint filed against the Chief Minister and AAP in the money laundering case.
The court has issued production warrant for Kejriwal for July 12.
The court also took cognizance of ED's eight supplementary chargesheet against accused Vinod Chauhan and Ashish Mathur.
Kejriwal is in judicial custody in the corruption and money laundering cases related to the alleged scam.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) examined Kejriwal in Tihar jail and his statement was recorded. This was hours after the Delhi High Court stayed the bail granted to him in the PMLA case.
After court's permission, CBI examined Kejriwal in court on June 26 and then formally arrested him in the case.
Kejriwal was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on March 21. In May, he was granted interim bail by the Supreme Court till June 01 in view of general elections. He surrendered on June 2.
Kejriwal has challenged before the Delhi High Court his arrest by CBI and three days of police custody remand. He has also filed a plea seeking bail in the corruption case. Both the cases are fixed for hearing on July 17.
