Delhi Liquor Scam Case Returns as CBI Issues Notice to Kavitha

• Delhi Liquor Scam case returns as CBI issues notice to Kavitha.
• Delhi Liquor Scam case appeal filed in Delhi High Court.
• Delhi Liquor Scam case investigation moves forward again.

The Delhi Liquor Scam case has once again moved into the spotlight after the Central Bureau of Investigation issued a fresh notice to former MLC Kalvakuntla Kavitha. The development follows an appeal filed by the agency in the Delhi High Court challenging the earlier trial court verdict.

CBI officials recently visited Kavitha residence in Banjara Hills Hyderabad and delivered the High Court notice. At the time of their visit Kavitha was not present at home and the notice was handed over to her husband Anil Kumar. Officials also gathered details about her current whereabouts.

The legal development comes after the Delhi High Court took up the appeal filed by the CBI against the decision of the Rouse Avenue Court which had earlier cleared several accused in the case. The trial court had stated that the chargesheet lacked sufficient evidence and granted relief to multiple individuals linked to the investigation.

The case had created nationwide attention earlier as several political leaders were named during the investigation. Among those who received relief from the lower court verdict were Kavitha along with former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia.

Investigating agencies had earlier alleged irregularities in the Delhi liquor policy and claimed that Kavitha played a role representing what investigators described as the South Group.

The legal battle surrounding the case has been ongoing for several months. Earlier enforcement agencies conducted searches at Kavitha residence in Hyderabad and she was later arrested and taken to Delhi for questioning.

Following the arrest she spent more than five months in judicial custody at Tihar Jail before receiving conditional bail from the Supreme Court.

After the trial court granted relief it appeared that the case had reached a turning point. However the appeal filed by the CBI has now brought the Delhi Liquor Scam case back into legal and political discussions.

The investigation agency is requesting the High Court to review the evidence again and reconsider the lower court decision.

With the latest notice issued to Kavitha the Delhi Liquor Scam case is once again drawing attention across political circles and legal forums.
