New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Monday asked the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to submit copies of papers seized in raid on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's aide and IAS officer Rajinder Kumar. The High Court will resume hearing the case on January 29.

Earlier, a Delhi court had asked the agency to give the original papers to the government. This decision was challenged by the CBI in the Delhi High Court.

On December 15, 2015, the CBI sleuths raided Delhi Chief Minister's office in an alleged corruption cases against his Principal Secretary Rajinder Kumar. Then Kejriwal alleged that the NDA government is misusing the CBI and the raid was intent to malign his image.

Reacting to the Delhi court's order, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) had said that the order to release documents seized during CBI's raid on Delhi Secretariat had vindicated its stand and "exposed blatant misuse" of the investigating agency by the Centre.

"Special court's order about release of documents, which were seized by the CBI during a raid on Delhi Secretariat, has only vindicated AAP's stand that the target of CBI raid at Delhi Secretariat was Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and not Rajendra Kumar," an AAP spokesperson had said.
