The most recent complaint focuses on Mr. Kejriwal&#8217;s failure to respond to summons numbered four to eight under Section 50 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier, the ED had approached the magisterial court regarding Mr. Kejriwal&#8217;s non-compliance with the first three summons issued in the money laundering case linked to the now-abolished Delhi excise policy. The court of ACMM Malhotra has scheduled a hearing for March 16 to address both complaints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the ED, Mr. Kejriwal has avoided eight summonses issued by the agency to date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Delhi, Mar 14: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has moved a sessions court on Thursday, March 24, 2024, to challenge the summons issued to him&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":50967,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[54,22],"tags":[1431,1032,73,2086,1033],"class_list":["post-50966","post","has-post-thumbnail","category-latest-news","category-national","tag-delhi","tag-earlypostdaily","tag-india","tag-kejriwal","tag-latestnews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50966","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50966"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50966\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":50968,"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50966\/revisions\/50968"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50967"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50966"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50966"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50966"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
