In a surprisal case, the Delhi court is expected to shortly come out with an operational order favorable to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on his bail and remand in the money laundering case concerning the Enforcement Directorate (ED) about the excise policy.
The judge in the Rouse Avenue Court was Niyay Bindu, and the matter was heard by him for two days before issuing the orders. Earlier, the judge had signaled that she would not want this matter to remain pending for the most elongated of times and craved the advice of all advocates in their submissions to the lean point.
Arguing against Kejriwal’s bail application, ASG S. V. Raju said that the ED has documentary proof to prove that part of the ‘proceeds of crime’ was used to ‘stay’ in a hotel in Goa during the assembly elections in the state Kejriwal, ASG S V Raju.
You have to only look into the agenda of the AAP convenor during the Goa assembly elections. Raju also contended that the federal agency has call details dairy (telephone calls and CDR), which show that a co-accused received ₹45 crores from ‘Angadiyas’ who are informal money lenders and made the payment for Kejriwal’s hotel stay.
On the question of the timing of Kejriwal’s arrest, Raju got down to stating that the ED did not act in ‘hot haste’ and had arrested the CM only when the Delhi HC denied him any relief of no coercive action, asking for adequate material that the division bench found adequate?
The outcome of this case and Kejriwal’s bail plea, in particular, have significant consequences for the future of the political scenario.
