Delhi excise policy case: Court denies interim bail to BRS leader Kavitha
New Delhi: The Rouse Avenue court in the national capital on Monday dismissed the detailed interim bail application of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLC K Kavitha.
She had sought interim bail because her minor son had school examinations. She is in judicial custody after the ED remand in the excise policy case.
Special judge Kaveri Baweja dismissed the interim bail application this morning. A detailed bail order has yet to be uploaded.
The bail application of the BRS leader was opposed by the counsel for ED, who argued that Kavitha destroyed the evidence in her phone and that witnesses were forced to retract their statements.
Kavitha had filed an application seeking interim bail given the examination of her school-going son.
The bail application was opposed by advocate Zoheb Hossain, the special counsel for ED. He submitted that the proviso related to bail under Section 45 of the PMLA should be exercised judiciously.
Exceptions are not for women who are leading politicians in the state. He further submitted that Kavitha was a beneficiary in Indo Spirit and Arun Ramchandra Pillai was his proxy in the company.
