New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to grant urgent hearing to Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader Kavitha Kalvakuntla for questioning in relation to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam.
Kavitha is a Member of Legislative Council and the daughter of Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao.
She was questioned on March 11 and was summoned again on March 16.
Kalvakuntla’s counsel appeared before a bench comprising Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud and Justice PS Narasimha contending that a woman being summoned by the ED was “completely against the law”.
However, the CJI refused to stay the summons or grant an urgent hearing while listing the case on March 24.
