It seems a never ending battle for Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, the Delhi HC on Monday sought a reply from Jail authorities on a plea of Delhi's Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal seeking 2 additional legal meetings with his lawyers through video conferencing from Tihar Jail.

He is in judicial custody in the Delhi Excise policy case.

Justice Neena Bansal Krishna sought a reply in five days. The matter has been listed for arguments on July 15. His application was rejected by the trial court. Senior advocate Ramesh Gupta appeared for Arvind Kejriwal and submitted that the applicant is seeking additional legal meetings with his counsel. There is nothing wrong with it. On the other hand, senior counsel Zoheb Hossain appeared for ED and he also wanted to file a reply.

Senior advocate Ramesh Gupta objected and said that ED is not a party in this application. Meanwhile, the counsel for jail authorities also appeared and sought time to file a reply. The court granted him time.

Kejriwal has challenged the orders passed by the trial court on April 10 and July 1, denying him two additional legal meetings with his counsel. The Rouse Avenue Court on July 1 denied Kejriwal two additional meetings with his lawyers through video conferencing (VC) from Tihar Jail.
