Arvind Kejriwal's bail, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo filed a petition in the Supreme Court of India against the same, the party said on Sunday.
The Delhi CM's lawyers have appealed for a hearing on Monday morning, they added.
The Directorate of Enforcement (ED) on Friday had moved Delhi High Court against a trial court's Thursday order of granting bail to Kejriwal in the alleged excise policy case.
The High Court has reserved the order on ED's petition seeking a stay on the trial court's plea, and said that the order will be passed in around two to three days.
Delhi's Rouse Avenue Court had granted Kejriwal bail on a ₹1 lakh bond earlier this week. Conditions for his release included not interfering with the investigation or influencing witnesses in the agency's money laundering probe.

On June 5, the trial court denied Kejriwal's request for interim bail, which he had sought due to various health issues.
