Following Delhi High Court's rejection of his petition challenging his arrest by the federal probe agency Enforce🌌ment Directorate (ED), Aam Aadmi Party leader Sanjay Singh moved the Supreme Court on Friday.
Delhi HC rejected Singh's plea
Earlier, the Delhi High Court had dismissed his plea, stating that it has the responsibility to balance th💖e rights of the accused and the interests of State. The High Court rejected the plea after observing that it does not consider the case as one of no evidence at all. Further, the case is at a nascent stage and court finds no grounds to interfere
According to the court, there’s nothing to suggest that the agency by lawless means extracted statement of the appꦯrover. The court had said that it cannot be appreciated at this stage🌠 that there was breach of any mandate of law.
Acknowled🍃ging allegations made on behalf of Singh that the case is politically motivated, High Court has said that the court examines all cases under the prism of law, and does not get swayed by political affiliations or biases.
Earlier, the Enforcement Directorate had told Delhi High Court that the investigation into ꧒the alleged Delhi excise policy scam has revealed that Aam Aadmi Party leader Sanjay Singh is a key conspirator in the scam, had been part of a conspiracy to collect kickbacks and also received proceeds of crime.
