Telangana CM’s daughter and Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader K. Kavitha has moved the Supreme Court, challenging ED summons in relation to the Delhi Excise Policy case on Wednesday.
Kavitha was questioned by the agency on March 11 and is required to appear again tomorrow. The case was brought before CJI DY Chandrachud, who refused to hear it immediately and scheduled a hearing for March 24.
Kavitha, who currently an MLA from the Nizamabad Local Bodies Constituency, claims that she is not named in the FIR and that the summons violates Section 160 of the Criminal Procedure Code, which states that no woman shall be required to appear as a witness anywhere other than where she resides. Kavitha has been asked to appear before the ED in Delhi, purportedly to confront her with an arrestee in the case.
