A Delhi Court on Tuesday took cognizance of the supplementary chargesheet submitted by the Enforcement Directorate against Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and the Aam Aadmi Party in the alleged liquor policy scam. Kaveri Baweja, a Special Judge of Rouse Avenue Court, took note of the seventh supplementary prosecution complaint filed against the chief minister and AAP in the money laundering case. 

The court has issued a production warrant for Kejriwal to appear on July 12. It also took cognizance of the ED's eighth supplementary chargesheet against accused Vinod Chauhan and Ashish Mathur, Live Law reported.

AAP supremo is currently in judicial custody related to corruption and money laundering charges in the alleged scam. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) interrogated Kejriwal in Tihar jail, shortly after the Delhi High Court stayed his bail in the PMLA case. After receiving court permission, the CBI questioned Kejriwal in court on June 26 and formally arrested him in the case.

The Delhi High Court halted the release of the chief minister on bail after the ED challenged the trial court's order, arguing that the agency had not been given a full opportunity to oppose Kejriwal's bail application.

Kejriwal was initially arrested by the ED on March 21. In May, the Supreme Court granted him interim bail until June 1 in light of the general elections. He surrendered on June 2.

Kejriwal has challenged his arrest by the CBI and the three-day police custody remand before the Delhi High Court. He has also filed a bail plea in the corruption case. Both cases are scheduled for a hearing on July 17.
