The Delhi High Court on Thursday permitted AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal to withdraw his petition challenging the summonses issued to him by the ED in connection with its probe into an excise policy-linked money laundering case.
Senior counsel appearing for the former Delhi chief minister said he did not wish to pursue the matter further as he had already been acquitted in the criminal cases against him for failing to appear before the agency in pursuance of the summonses.
Additional Solicitor General S V Raju, appearing for the Enforcement Directorate (ED), said the agency will file an appeal against the decision of the trial court.
"Much water has flown.. I will not press the petition. I will take the constitutional pleas at an appropriate stage," Kejriwal's senior lawyer said.
"Accordingly, the petition is dismissed as withdrawn", a bench of Chief Justice D K Upadhyaya and Justice Tejas Karia said.
The bench clarified that all the legal pleas in the petition were kept open.

Security agencies have busted an ever-growing ecosystem of "mule accounts" in Jammu and Kashmir that serves as the financial backbone of global scam networks, with officials fearing that the funds routed through these accounts could be used for separatist and anti-national activities.
The officials said more than 8,000 mule accounts operating in the region have been identified and frozen over a period of three years, exposing a sophisticated network of money laundering.
They described these accounts as the "weakest yet most crucial link" in the cybercrime chain, as without them, the conversion of stolen money into untraceable cryptocurrency would be impossible.
Central security agencies have asked the Jammu and Kashmir Police and other law enforcement agencies to hold consultations with banks to curb the mushrooming of 'mule accounts' and identify middlemen, commonly referred to as "mulers", who facilitate such financial frauds, they said.
Officials suspect that after the National

AI in India will drive productivity, quality, and role redesign in the near term rather than mass unemployment, but the country must pursue a "sovereign by design" approach, maintaining control over its data and capabilities while staying globally integrated to ensure AI benefits everyone, according to BCGX.

"The Asia-Pacific region is often described as being ahead of the curve in AI adoption, for example, a recent BCG report found that 92 per cent of employees in India use AI at least several times a week," Sylvain Duranto, Global Leader BCGX, said, referring to how AI has gained traction in India.
On India's AI talent pool, Duranto said, "Beyond the AI superpowers of the US and China, new centres of
