Introduction

A high court in Delhi is looking at a case about some leaders from the AAP party.

Main Body

The CBI says that Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia did something wrong. A lower court said they were not guilty because there was not enough proof. Now, the high court will hear the case again on May 4. Mr. Kejriwal and Mr. Sisodia do not want to talk to the judge. They say the judge's children work for the government. They think this is not fair. The judge said no and told them they must follow the rules. Another group called the ED is also angry. They say Mr. Kejriwal did not come to meetings. The lower court said the ED did not send the emails correctly. The high court will talk about this on July 22.

Conclusion

The court wants all the papers now. The next meeting is on May 4.

⚡ The 'Past Action' Pattern

In the story, we see words that tell us things already happened. For a beginner, knowing these is the key to moving from A1 to A2.

Spot the change:

  • Say →\rightarrow Said (Example: The judge said no)
  • Do →\rightarrow Did (Example: They did something wrong)
  • Is/Am →\rightarrow Was (Example: There was not enough proof)

💡 Simple Rule: When we talk about the court case in the past, we change the word.

  • Now: I say hello.
  • Before: I said hello.

📅 Dates and Future: Notice how the text uses "will" for things that haven't happened yet:

  • The court will hear the case... on May 4.
  • The high court will talk about this... on July 22.

Quick Tip: Use WILL + ACTION for any date in the future.
