In the Delhi excise policy case, the Supreme Court granted bail to BRS MLC K Kavitha on Tuesday.

Since March 15, K Kavitha, the daughter of former Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar, has been under arrest.

Kavitha filed petitions for bail in the corruption and money laundering cases related to the alleged scam, which is being investigated by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), respectively, before a bench of Justices B R Gavai and K V Viswanathan.
The Enforcement Directorate and the CBI were questioned by the Supreme Court bench of Justices BR Gavai and KV Viswanathan during the hearing to present any “material” that could support the claim that K Kavitha was involved in the alleged Delhi excise policy scam. In support of K Kavitha, senior attorney Mukul Rohatgi requested bail, stating that the two agencies had finished their probe against her. He also mentioned the ruling of the Supreme Court, which granted AAP leader and co-accused Manish Sisodia bail.
In an appearance on behalf of the investigation agencies, Additional Solicitor General SV Raju stated that K Kavitha had formatted her mobile phone. He claimed that her actions amounted to falsifying evidence. Rohatgi referred to the allegations as “bogus”.
The bench questioned Raju, “What is the material to show that she was involved in the crime?” The matter is still being heard. On August 12, the top court requested answers from the CBI and the ED about Kavitha’s appeals against a July 1 Delhi High Court ruling that had denied her bail in both cases.
