A bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta issued notice to the ED seeking its response on Kejriwal's plea by April 24.
Hearing petitions challenging the privacy of WhatsApp messages, the Supreme Court on Wednesday set up a five-judge constitution bench to hear the case. The bench will hear the matter on April 18.
On January 17, the top court had sent notice to the Centre, telecom regulator TRAI, WhatsApp and Facebook over a petition challenging the privacy of WhatsApp messages.
The plea challenged the messaging service provider’s decision to share 160 million Indian users’ data with Facebook and requested to frame a privacy policy for social media networks such as Facebook and WhatsApp.

WhatsApp was originally launched as a messaging application in 2010. At the time of its launch, WhatsApp did not allow sharing of users’ data. However, after it was bought over by Facebook in 2014, the company announced sweeping changes in its privacy policy.
