ED has no bad intention, did not pay attention to the record, Delhi HC gives a blow to Kejriwal

New Delhi : CM Arvind Kejriwal has received a major setback from the Delhi High Court. The High Court has stayed the trial court’s order granting him/her bail in the Delhi Excise Policy case. The High Court said in its decision that the documents and arguments were not properly evaluated, so the lower court’s order is stayed. The High Court said that other arguments will be considered by the roster bench. With this, the Delhi High Court has stayed the Rouse Avenue Court’s order on Arvind Kejriwal’s bail.

Arvind Kejriwal was granted bail by the Rouse Avenue Court on June 20. The order was challenged in the High Court by the ED. As soon as the matter reached the High Court, the court put an interim stay on Kejriwal’s bail. Not only this, the High Court reserved its decision on the ED’s petition. Now the court pronounced the order on this on Tuesday at 2.30 pm. The High Court said that the trial court should not have given any such conclusion which is contrary to the conclusion of the High Court.

The High Court said that the trial court did not even consider the argument of Section 70 PMLA. There was a strong argument in the order that the double condition of Section 45 PMLA was not discussed by the vacation judge. On this, the court believes that Section 45 PMLA has not been properly discussed by the trial court. Most importantly, the ASG cited paragraph 27 of the trial court order, where the judge has spoken of malice on the part of ED. But this court believes that the coordination bench of the court said that there was no malice on the part of ED.
