The Delhi High Court on Wednesday (August 7, 2024) questioned the Enforcement Directorate (ED) about the relevance of its challenge to the bail granted to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, when the Supreme Court had already granted him interim bail in the excise policy-related money laundering case.
The High Court asked the ED if their petition is allowed, will the agency again arrest the Chief Minister? “Answer my question. What will happen if I allow your petition? Will you arrest him again?” Justice Neena Bansal Krishna asked the ED’s counsel.
The ED’s counsel said that no one has declared Mr. Kejriwal’s arrest to be illegal.
On July 12, the Supreme Court granted interim bail to Mr. Kejriwal in the money laundering case. Mr. Kejriwal remains in jail as he is in judicial custody in the Central Bureau of Investigation’s corruption case stemming out of the excise scam.
