Earlier this morning, the Supreme Court had granted him bail in the CBI case related to the Delhi liquor policy. The court has imposed the same conditions for bail as were imposed while granting bail in the ED case.
Arvind Kejriwal met lawyer Abhishek Manu Singhvi at his residence.
The bench of two judges is unanimous on bail, but has different opinion on arrest The bench of Justice Suryakant and Justice Ujjwal Bhuiyan said that the arrest by CBI was as per the rules.
‘Keeping Kejriwal in jail despite getting bail in the ED case would be a mockery of justice. The power of arrest should be used very thoughtfully.
The Supreme Court said in its judgment
Justice Surya Kant said:
1. If a person is already in custody, it is not wrong to arrest him again in connection with the investigation. CBI has explained why his investigation was necessary.
2. The arrest of the petitioner is not illegal. CBI has not violated any rules. They needed to investigate. That is why arrests were made in this case.
Justice Ujjwal Bhuiyan said:
1. CBI’s arrest raises more questions than answers. As soon as they get bail in ED case, CBI becomes active. In such a situation, questions arise about the time of arrest.
2. The CBI must appear impartial and every effort must be made to ensure that arrests are not arbitrary. The perception of the investigating agency as a caged parrot must be dispelled.
