Excise policy case: Will file response to K Kavitha's bail plea by Aug 22, ED tells SC

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Tuesday told the Supreme Court that it will file its response to BRS leader K Kavitha’s bail plea in a money laundering case linked to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam by August 22.

Additional Solicitor General S V Raju, appearing for the ED and the Central Bureau of Investigation, told a bench of Justices B R Gavai and K V Viswanathan that the CBI’s counter affidavit has already been filed in the matter.

Raju said the ED’s counter affidavit was in the “pipeline” and would be filed by August 22.
