What happens when you skip summons by ED?

Arvind Kejriwal, the chief minister of Delhi, has opted not to come before the ED to answer questions on the Delhi liquor policy issue. He will probably get more summonses from the ED from now on. The agency can take two actions if he doesn’t reply by then.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal declined to appear before the Enforcement Directorate for questioning on Thursday (November 2), saying the summons to him were unclear, and appeared to be “in the nature of a “fishing and roving inquiry”.

Kejriwal had been summoned in connection with the investigations in the Delhi Excise Policy. In April this year, Kejriwal had been questioned by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in connection with its own case on the same policy.

The inquiry officer has been tasked by Kejriwal to recall the “vague and motivated summons”, which are “unsustainable in law”. It is unlikely that the ED will consent , and in the upcoming days, it will send him another notice. Kejriwal is subject to more notices from them until he cooperates with the inquiry.

In that scenario, the ED has two options; either they appear at his home and question him there, and if they have solid evidence, proceed to make an arrest after the questioning; or they can file an application with the relevant court and have a non-bailable warrant issued against him.
