News on Arvind Kejriwal LIVE: The Enforcement Directorate and Arvind Kejriwal’s attorney argued Friday at the Delhi High Court hearing about whether the trial court should follow the Supreme Court’s earlier ruling granted interim bail to the Delhi CM.
Arvind Kejriwal news LIVE: On June 21, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) filed a motion in the Delhi High Court contesting the trial court’s bail ruling in a money laundering case involving the now-canceled excise policy. As a result, the court halted the parole of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
The High Court declared that the trial court’s decisions will not be implemented until the HC hears the case, according to the Bar and Bench report. On June 20, bail was granted to the AAP national convenor. In exchange for a ₹1 lakh bail bond, the Rouse Avenue Court granted bail. Before giving Kejriwal the relief, the court did, however, place certain restrictions on him, saying that he could not attempt to obstruct the probe or influence the witnesses. In addition, the judge ordered Kejriwal to assist with the inquiry and show up in court as needed. The ruling of June 20, 2024, issued by the Rouse Avenue District Courts’ Special Judge (Vacation Judge) granting bail to Kejriwal has been contested by ED.

The trial court’s decision to grant Arvind Kejriwal bail was delayed by the Delhi High Court. The trial court’s order will be stayed until the court issues an order on the ED’s stay application, which it stated it will do in two to three days.
3:50 pm: ‘ED is a sacred cow…,’ says Delhi CM’s lawyer
“If my lords goes against me, I lose, and I am in jail,” said the Delhi Chief Minister’s attorney, taking jabs at the ED for refusing to grant Kejriwal’s bail. The ED is a sacred cow, asking how someone can receive bail right in front of them. I have not been linked to a single paisa.

The Supreme Court “gave express liberty to the trial court to consider the bail application,” according to attorney Singhvi, representing Kejriwal.
“You can get bail from the trial court, the court stated clearly. My inquiry is: Why was there an express liberty granted by the SC if J Sharma’s judgment was definitive, as the ED suggested? “Question two: Why did the SC distinguish between going to bail and reserving the order on illegal arrest if the ED can mix up the proceedings with bail as well?,” Singhvi was cited by Bar and Bench as stating.
Prior to Kejriwal’s release on temporary bail, the ED’s attorney had stated that the trial court had relied on the SC ruling. The SC declared that it is unreliable to rely on this order. He can’t visit the CM secretariat, the SC said to him.
