In July, the Supreme Court granted Arvind Kejriwal temporary bail in the money laundering case.
The Enforcement Directorate was questioned by the Delhi High Court on Wednesday about what would happen if the court approved the motion to revoke Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s bail. The agency was asked by the court if it would detain the AAP leader once more. In view of the Supreme Court’s temporary bail award in the money-laundering case connected to the now-canceled excise scheme, the court posed the question.
According to the top court, it’s now just a scholarly matter.
“Respond to my inquiry. What would occur if I grant your request? Will you detain him once more?” Questioning the ED’s attorney was Justice Neena Bansal Krishna.
The attorney responded by saying that there was no need for an arrest and that nobody had proclaimed his arrest to be unlawful.
The court added that she became perplexed since the petitions presented in the case were written so elegantly.
“Is it for payment, illegal detention, or bail? She responded, “I’m confused,” according to PTI.
In July, the Supreme Court granted Arvind Kejriwal temporary bail in the money laundering case. But because of the corruption case the CBI brought about the excise policy, he is incarcerated.
A hearing on the subject has been scheduled for September 5.
The AAP and Arvind Kejriwal are charged of taking ₹100 crore in bribes in exchange for doing business with a group of businesspeople on policy execution.
Since March 21, he has been incarcerated. A trial judge granted him bail on June 20.
But the next day, the ED approached the high court, arguing that the trial court’s decision was “perverse” and “one-sided”.
The bail was later suspended by the court.
After a few days, the CBI took Arvind Kejriwal from the ED’s custody.
