Arvind Kejriwal approaches SC against Delhi high court’s stay on bail

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday approached the Supreme Court against Delhi high court’s stay on trial court’s order granting him bail in ED case linked to alleged liquor policy scam.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) said that Kejriwal’s lawyers have appealed for a hearing on Monday morning.

Imposing certain conditions, the trial court had on Thursday granted bail to Kejriwal on a personal bond of ₹1 lakh.

However, on Friday morning, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) approached the Delhi High Court which put an interim stay on a trial court’s order.

“Till the pronouncement of this order, the operation of the impugned order shall remain stayed,” a vacation bench of Justice Sudhir Kumar Jain said.

– Opposing the bail granted by the trial court, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) said that the trial court did not give them a proper opportunity to be heard and termed the order ‘perverse’.

– The ED also alleged that the trial court did not give them proper time of 2-3 days to file written submissions.

– The ED also claimed that they have traced out 45 crores, yet the judge says no direct evidence. “Direct evidence is in the form of statement. There is corroboration also.”
