Hearing on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's bail application in the CBI case related to the leaker policy case has started today (September 5) in the Supreme Court. Earlier on August 23, the hearing was conducted by the bench of Justice Suryakant and Justice Ujjwal Bhuiyan. Meanwhile, the CBI told the court that it has submitted its reply in one case while more time is needed to reply in the other case. In response to that, Kejriwal's lawyer Abhishek Manu Singhvi said – In one case, the CBI's reply has been received on August 21 at 8 pm. The court has given one week's time to the CBI on the agency's appeal. Argument of Kejriwal's lawyer: If bail has been granted in Money Laundering Act then why not in CBI case? Kejriwal's lawyer Abhishek Manu Singhvi told the court that despite the stringent provisions of Section 45 of the Money Laundering Act (PMLA), the Delhi Chief Minister has been granted bail three times. He also referred to the interim bail granted by the Supreme Court on May 10 and July 12 and the regular bail granted by the trial court in the PMLA case on June 20. Singhvi said – Kejriwal should get bail in such a situation. Kejriwal got bail from the Supreme Court in the ED case on July 12. The Supreme Court granted bail to Arvind Kejriwal in the ED money laundering case on July 12. Granting bail, Justice Sanjiv Khanna said that Kejriwal has been in jail for 90 days. So they have been instructed to release them. We know that he is an elected leader and he has to decide whether he wants to be the Chief Minister or not. Justice Khanna said that we are transferring this case to a larger bench. What is the arrest policy, what is its basis. For this we have also prepared 3 such questions. If the larger bench wants, it can modify Kejriwal's interim bail.
