Suko ready to consider Kejriwal's interim bail
-Hearing on May 7 due to elections; Said- Hearing on arrest may take time
New Delhi. There was a two-hour debate in the Supreme Court on Friday on the arrest and remand of Arvind Kejriwal in the Delhi Liquor Policy case. The bench of Justice Sanjiv Khanna and Justice Dipankar Dutta said that in view of the Lok Sabha elections, interim bail of Kejriwal can be considered, so that he can participate in the campaign.
The bench said that the main case i.e. in which Kejriwal has challenged his arrest and remand, may take time. The court told the ED that the conditions of interim bail should also be told in the next hearing. We are yet to decide whether to grant interim bail or not. We will hear this on May 7.
Senior lawyer Abhishek Manu Singhvi on behalf of Kejriwal and ASG SV Raju on behalf of ED presented arguments in the Supreme Court. Singhvi once again said that there is no evidence against the Delhi Chief Minister and his arrest is illegal. Kejriwal had responded to 9 summons of ED. Failure to appear before the investigating agency cannot be a basis for arrest.
SV Raju gave the basis for Kejriwal's arrest. He said- The decision to arrest Kejriwal was taken not only by the investigating officer but also by a special judge. Delhi CM had also gone to the High Court regarding not being arrested. But after seeing the documents, the court refused to interfere in the stay on arrest.
If the company is guilty then the person in charge is also responsible: Court
Meanwhile, during the hearing, Justice Khanna said an important thing on an argument of senior lawyer Abhishek Manu Singhvi, who was representing Kejriwal. He said that any person who is in charge of a company, if the company commits any crime then the company as well as its incharge is responsible. The definition of company includes association.
