Arvind Kejriwal News LIVE: SC Grants Interim Bail To Delhi CM In Liquor Policy Scam Case
Arvind Kejriwal’s Supreme Court Hearing LIVE: The Supreme Court on Friday granted interim bail to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in a money laundering case linked to the alleged excise policy scam.
While delivering the judgment, the top court noted that the parameters of Section 19 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act were examined by the bench.
“We have not examined the question of bail but we have examined parameters of Section 19 PMLA. We have explained the difference between Section 19 and Section 45. Section 19 is the subjective opinion of officers and is subject to judicial review, Section 45 is exercised by the court itself,” Justice Sanjiv Khanna stated in court.
On May 17, the bench reserved its verdict on Kejriwal’s plea, a month after the court sought a response from the ED on AAP supremo’s arrest.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief challenged the April 9 order of the Delhi High Court in the top court that had upheld his arrest in the case.
The high court had upheld Kejriwal’s arrest in the case, saying there was no illegality and that the ED was left with “little option” after he skipped repeated summonses and refused to join the investigation.
The matter relates to alleged corruption and money laundering in the formulation and execution of the Delhi government’s excise policy for 2021-22, which has now been scrapped.
