The Delhi High Court has temporarily stayed the trial court’s order granting bail to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, as it considers the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) appeal in the ongoing money laundering case connected to the alleged excise scam.
The Delhi High Court has put on hold the trial court’s bail order for Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. The court's decision came while reserving judgment on the ED's plea against the bail granted in the money laundering case.
2. Vacation Bench's Statement:
Justice Sudhir Kumar Jain of the Vacation Bench stated, “Till pronouncement, the operation of the impugned order shall remain stayed.” The court is expected to deliver its decision on the ED’s plea within two to three days.
- ED’s Counsel:
Additional Solicitor General S.V. Raju, representing the ED, argued for a stay on the bail order. He contended that the trial court did not allow sufficient time to complete the arguments and labeled the order as “perverse.”
- Defense Counsel:
Senior advocates Abhishek Singhvi and Vikram Chaudhari, representing Kejriwal, refuted the ED’s allegations, calling them incorrect and asserting that the bail revocation would be unjust.
The trial court had granted bail to Kejriwal on June 20, with conditions including a personal bond of ₹1 lakh and stipulations that he must not interfere with the investigation or influence witnesses.
- Kejriwal’s Wife:
Sunita Kejriwal criticized the ED’s actions, suggesting that the agency was acting with undue haste and treating her husband unfairly.
- AAP Leader Sanjay Singh:
Singh accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of undermining the justice system and questioned the urgency with which the ED challenged the bail order.
Arvind Kejriwal was arrested by the ED on March 21, following the Delhi High Court’s refusal to protect him from arrest regarding summonses in the excise scam case. The Supreme Court had previously granted him interim bail until June 1 to participate in the Lok Sabha elections, after which he surrendered to Tihar jail authorities.
Conclusion:
The Delhi High Court’s stay on the bail order of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal adds another layer of complexity to the ongoing legal proceedings in the alleged excise scam. The court’s impending decision will be crucial in determining the next steps for both Kejriwal and the ED in this high-profile case.
