A day after the delhi High court rejected his appeal contesting his detention by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in relation to the liquor policy issue, delhi chief minister arvind kejriwal filed a complaint in the supreme court on Wednesday. In yet another blow, Kejriwal's appeal asking for more time to consult with his attorneys was rejected by the Rouse Avenue Court.
 
The ED objected to the AAP chief's motion, claiming he had mishandled his legal discussions, and the magisterial court took action in response.
 
Currently residing in the tihar jail, kejriwal has requested authorization for five meetings each week. He is currently limited to two meetings each week.

The legal team representing the chief minister contended that there were more than thirty complaints brought against kejriwal in several states, and that an hour a week is insufficient to comprehend and provide guidance.
 
In response, the ED stated that everyone is treated similarly in jail and that a person's status outside of it is meaningless.
 
Meanwhile, Kejriwal's attorneys will ask for an early hearing in the matter at 10.30 a.m. today at the supreme court about their plea.
 
The ED produced papers indicating that the AAP supremo "conspired with others" and was "actively involved in using the proceeds of crime" at the delhi High court hearing on Tuesday.
 
Additionally, it claimed that kejriwal demanded bribes and personally contributed to the creation of the now-cancelled liquor policy. In his role as the AAP's national convenor, he apparently took part in scandal-related actions.
 
Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma stated that Kejriwal's "arrest is not in violation of law," so his "remand cannot be termed illegal" when delivering the decision.
 
AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj said shortly after the delhi High Court's ruling that the party would appeal to the supreme court on wednesday since it disagreed with the decision.
 
The Enforcement Directorate detained arvind kejriwal on 21 march in relation to a money laundering investigation involving the delhi liquor policy matter.
 
He was placed under 14 days of judicial detention and is being held in the tihar jail until april 15.
 
Rouse Avenue court in delhi is scheduled to make an announcement on wednesday about an additional plea submitted by the chief minister, who is requesting an extension to meet with his attorneys.
