New Delhi [India], Rouse Avenue Court on Friday extended the judicial custody of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader K Kavitha in a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) case related to excise policy of Delhi until July 18.
K Kavitha was produced through video conferencing from Tihar jail. His lawyer vehemently opposed preventive detention.
The Rouse Avenue court is likely to consider the chargesheet filed against her tomorrow.
CBI special judge Kaveri Baweja extended K Kavitha's judicial custody for the next 14 days.
During the hearing, his lawyer P. Mohit Rao opposed the plea for extension of judicial custody.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has already filed a case against her. She is up for consideration on July 6.
This is the third supplementary charge sheet filed by the CBI in the Delhi Excise Policy case on June 7.
Kavitha is in judicial custody in both the CBI and the money laundering case. She was first arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on March 15. Later, she was arrested by the CBI on April 11.
ED also filed a charge sheet against her in the Delhi Excise Policy money laundering case.
The CBI probe was recommended based on the findings of the Delhi Chief Secretary's report submitted in July showing prima facie violations of the GNCTD Act, 1991, the Business Transactions Rules (ToBR)-1993, the Excise Act of Delhi-2009 and Delhi Excise Rules-2010. officials said.
The ED and CBI had alleged that irregularities were committed in modifying excise policy, undue favors were extended to license holders, license fee was waived or reduced and L-1 license was extended without the approval of the competent authority.
The beneficiaries diverted "illegal" profits to the accused officials and made false entries in their books of accounts to evade detection, the investigating agencies said.
According to the allegations, the Excise Department had decided to refund the security deposit of approximately Rs 30 million to a selected bidder against the laid down rules.
Although there was no enabling provision, a waiver of tendered license fees was allowed from December 28, 2021 to January 27, 2022 due to COVID-19, the investigation agency said and there was an alleged loss of 144, 36 crores to the exchequer.
