Hyderabad, Aug.20 (NSS): The Enforcement Directorate (ED ) told the Supreme Court on Tuesday that it would file its counter on the bail petition filed by BRS party MLC Kavitha by August 22. Additional Solicitor General SV Raju told a bench comprising Justice BR Gavai and Justice KV Viswanathan that the CBI had already filed a counter affidavit in the case. Raju also said the ED counter affidavit was being prepared and would be filed by August 22.
Following this submission, the hearing of the case has been postponed to August 27. On August 12, the Supreme Court sought a reply of the Central Investigation agencies on the petitions filed by Kavitha challenging the Delhi High Court’s decision on her bail plea in the ED and the CBI cases. It is a known fact that the CBI and the ED have registered separate cases in the liquor policy case. The ED arrested Kavitha in Hyderabad on March 15. She is currently in Tihar Jail under judicial custody.
