Delhi High Court Reviews Bail Decision in Kejriwal Money Laundering Case

The Delhi High Court began reviewing the Enforcement Directorate's appeal against the trial court decision granting bail to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in an alleged excise scam money laundering case. Justice Sudhir Kumar Jain presided over the session, hearing arguments from both sides.

The Delhi High Court on Friday began hearing the Enforcement Directorate's (ED) plea challenging a trial court's decision to grant bail to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in a money laundering case linked to an alleged excise scam. The session was presided over by a vacation bench, headed by Justice Sudhir Kumar Jain.

Additional Solicitor General SV Raju, representing the ED, presented the initial arguments, criticizing the trial court's decision as ''perverse'' and claiming that due process was not followed. ''We were not given a fair opportunity to present our side. This is one of the most perverse orders I've seen,'' he stated.

The trial court's bail order will not take effect until the High Court reviews the matter. The high court plans to hear arguments from Kejriwal's lawyers later, before deciding whether to stay the trial court's order.
