SC issues notice to ED on Kejriwal’s plea against arrest, next hearing on April 29
A bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta issued notice to the ED seeking its response on Kejriwal's plea by April 24.
The Supreme Court is all set to examine whether the Kendriya Vidyalayas across the country are promoting any religion with a Hindi prayer which is sung in the morning assembly. The prayer in question is sung in more than 1100 Kendriya Vidyalaya schools.
The top court on Wednesday issued a notice to the government over a PIL against Hindi and Sanskrit school prayers stating that it is a very important constitutional issue.

Reportedly, an advocate filed the petition asserting that state-run institutes cannot promote any particular religion.
Given that the prayer includes some Sanskrit words along with Hindi, it has been reportedly said in the petition that the prayer was a violation of the Constitution. The students are required to folds hands and close the eyes to recite the prayer.
A bench headed by Justice Rohinton F Nariman has directed the Centre to respond in two weeks.
