Sources said the AAP national convenor approached the top court seeking an urgent hearing of his petition after a high court division bench headed by Justice Suresh Kumar Kait refused to grant him interim protection. 

The agency may arrest him or take him to its office in central Delhi for questioning, sources said, even though there was no official word on the agency's likely course of action.  

Kejriwal has moved the court in the wake of the latest summons, the ninth issued by the ED, asking him to appear before it on Thursday.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal faces two new summons from the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the Delhi excise policy case and the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) meter case.

On February 27, the ED had issued eighth summons to appear before it on March 4 to CM Kejriwal after he skipped seventh summons issued on February 22. Earlier, on February 19, the CM skipped the ED's sixth summon.
