CM Kejriwal was arrested by ED on 21 March
Let us tell you that CM Kejriwal was arrested by ED on 21st March in a case related to Delhi Excise Policy. He is currently in judicial custody in Tihar Jail, Delhi.
Why did the High Court say – you are questioning the judge itself, 10 important points of the order–
1- The High Court said that CM Arvind Kejriwal has the right to cross-examine witnesses but in the lower court and not in the High Court.
2- The High Court said that the investigation agency cannot work as per the convenience of any person. During the investigation, the agency can even go to someone’s house.
3- The High Court said that the petitioner has been arrested in a money laundering case. No special privilege can be given to anyone, including the Chief Minister.
4- The High Court said that in the case of investigation and interrogation, no person, even if he is the CM, can be given special exemption. The High Court rejected Kejriwal’s argument that he could have been interrogated through video conferencing.
5- The High Court said that the court works according to the law without being influenced by politics. The only job of the court is to implement the law.
While giving a big relief to the ED, the High Court also rejected the CM’s allegations that he was arrested during the elections. The judge said – It would be wrong to say that the ED has deliberately made the arrest during the elections.
6- On the question of the arrest being politically motivated, the Delhi High Court said that politics affects the working of the government, but the courts are not affected by it. The court is not influenced by any external factors or does not work under pressure.
7- The High Court said that the court is concerned with constitutional morality, not political morality. The ED had sufficient material on the basis of which they arrested Kejriwal. Kejriwal’s non-participation in the investigation and the delay caused by him are also affecting those in judicial custody.
8- The High Court said that all the rules have been followed according to the documents submitted by ED in the court. ED has given sufficient evidence, the statement of the Goa candidate, in which he has accepted the money. The High Court mentioned the statements of ND Gupta and the AAP candidate.
9- The High Court said that it is the court’s job to check the veracity of government witnesses. This law is more than 100 years old. The law of making approvers has never been questioned. The statement of the approver is written by the court and not by the ED. If you question it, then you are questioning the judge.
10- The High Court said that this is not the first case where statements of approvers have been recorded. Such statements have been recorded in many cases before this. The High Court said that questions have also been raised regarding Reddy’s statement.
