Kejriwal’s Five Questions For ED In SC Today: The Hearing Is Postponed Until Friday

The Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s appeal against his detention in the liquor scam case was postponed by the Supreme Court on Tuesday till May 3. The AAP head raised five questions in court today, and the top court ordered the Enforcement Directorate to respond. Among those queries was why the chairman was detained just before the general elections.

The five questions Arvind Kejriwal has for ED
1) In light of what has transpired here, is it possible to start criminal proceedings without an adjudicatory proceeding? Furthermore, as far as Vijay Mandanlal is concerned, no attachment procedures have been filed; if they have, please describe the petitioner’s involvement.

2) There have been rulings in favor of and against the Manish Sisodia case. Tell us where the Kejriwal case stands in this context.

3) They believe that the threshold of Section 19, which places the burden of proof on the prosecution rather than the accused, is rather high. As a result, they do not request regular bail since they are faced with Section 45, which places the burden of proof on them. How do we understand this? Do we raise the bar considerably and make sure the criteria are the same in order to identify the guilty party?

4) Next, the interval of time between the start of legal processes and the actual arrest, etc. Section 8 states that there is a 365-day restriction, even if we are dealing with bail issues. Consider not making an arrest; after all, people’s lives and liberties matter.

5) Secondly, the arrest occurred just before the general elections.

“When the matter is taken up on Friday afternoon, please answer all of this,” the Supreme Court instructed ED.
