HC to hear petition against Kejriwal’s bail next month

New Delhi: Delhi High Court on Wednesday scheduled for Jan next year the Enforcement Directorate’s plea against the bail granted to former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal in the 2021-22 excise policy-linked “money laundering” case.
The ED counsel urged Justice Manoj Kumar Ohri to defer the hearing in the matter due to the unavailability of Additional Solicitor General SV Raju. The request was, however, opposed by senior advocate Vikram Chaudhary, representing the Aam Aadmi Party leader, citing “pressing urgency” in the matter.
Chaudhary said the agency should withdraw its plea and the court should vacate its stay on the operation of the trial court’s order granting bail. “You can’t have a sword hanging over my head,” he said.
The ED counsel, however, said that Kejriwal was already on bail following an order passed by the Supreme Court and continues to remain free. On July 12, the top court granted interim bail to Kejriwal in the money laundering case while referring to a larger bench three questions on the aspect of “need and necessity of arrest” under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
In June, Kejriwal was granted bail by a trial court on a personal bond of Rs 1 lakh, which was subsequently stayed by the high court. He was arrested by ED and CBI on March 21 and June 26, respectively, in the “money laundering and corruption” cases.
