The𝔉 Delhi High Court on Wednesday asked the central probe agency Enforcement Directorate about their next step if the court allowed its plea seeking cancellation of bail granted to Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal in the now scrapped excise policy case. The court reportedly asked the probe agency if it would arrest the Aam Admi Party (AAP) chief again.
Kejriwal bail: What did Delhi HC ask?
While hearing ED's petition seeking cancell👍ation of the bail, Justice Neena Bansal Krisꦬhna asked the ED's counsel, "Answer my question. What will happen if I allow your petition? Will you arrest him again?"
To this, the counsel said ther𒊎e was no question of arrest🌸 and no one has declared his arrest to be illegal.
SC granted Kejriwal bail
Last month, the Supreme Court granted interim bail to Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal in the money laundering case linked with the Delhi Ex🤪ci🐲se Policy case. However, he is still behind the bars because of the arrest by the CBI over the excise policy. The matter has now been listed for hearing on September 5.
On March 21, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested him. On June 20, he was granted bail by a trial court. The ED challenged the bail and moved the high court the next day citing the trial court'ꦏs order was “perverse” and “one-sided”. The court later stayedꦅ the bail. Days later, Arvind Kejriwal was arrested by the CBI from ED's custody.
