One day after Delhi’s chief minister Arvind Kejriwal obtained the surety for a tribunal court in a money laundering investigation linked to the Delhi’s excise policy, the High Court Delhi interrupted the order until she hears the case. The Directorate of the Application of the Act (ED) has moved the High Court today (June 21), contesting Thursday the liberation order under deposit granted by a lower court.
The party leader AAM AADMI (AAP) was arrested by the Directorate of the Application of Laws (ED) on March 21 and has been in police custody in Tihar prison since April 1. Kejriwal came out of prison last month by making a provisional deposit to campaign for the recently finished elections of Lok Sabha.
As Kejriwal’s deposit was interrupted, why does the leader need more than ever? Let’s take a closer look.
Arvind Kejriwal’s release order
He is uncertain when Kejriwal is released from prison after the High Court of Delhi said that the appropriately bailing order of the Court of First Instance “will not be acted” until the HC only heard ‘affair.
Kejriwal obtained regular release days after the same Delhi court, but a different judge rejected his provisional surety advice on June 5.
The special judge Niyay Bindu, who granted the deposit on Thursday, also refused the request for the emergency that the order be maintained unanswered for 48 hours.
The additional Solicitor SV Raju, appearing in the emergency, said that the agency had direct evidence to prove that the funds used for the electoral campaign of the GOA assembly of the AAP had been moved via Hawala channels , reported Indian Express.
Opposing the advocacy advocacy of Delhi CM, he argued that Kejriwal did not cooperate with the central probe agency sharing the passwords of his phone.
“You (Kejriwal) may not have committed the offense, but you are responsible for the AAP affairs and if the AAP is guilty of an offense, you are also guilty of the offense. This is in accordance with article 70 PMLA (Prevention of Money Whitering Act), “said Raju.
By offending these allegations, Kejriwal’s lawyer questioned the CM’s arrest calendar just before Lok Sabha’s surveys and the quality of proof of the urgency.
“The whole case against Kejriwal is based on statements by these people who have been arrested. These people were promised a deposit and have become tender. Rging of non-stop and non-procedure have been given to them, “said the main defender Vikram Chaudhri, appearing for the Delhi CM Indian Express.
The court rejected the plea of the central investigation agency and contributed to Kejriwal. The reasons for the decision of the vacation judge for the deposit were to be known on Friday.
AAP and BJP reaction
The AAP welcomed the prescription of the Delhi court as a “victory of truth” on Thursday.
“It is a huge victory for justice and truth. The inhabitants of the country are very happy. Party workers are also very happy. It was proven that all of this was a conspiracy of the BJP, “said Sanjay Singh, the main leader of the AAP, said PTI.
यह न्याय और सत्य बहुत बड़ी जीत जीत देश की जनता बहुत खुश है। पार्टी कार्यकर्ता भी बहुत खुश हैं।
आज बीजेपी के झूठ पर्दाफ़ाश पर्दाफ़ाश हुआ और और यह हो गया है कि सब सब सब bjp की थी। थी। थी। थी। थी। थी। थी। थी। थी। थी। थी। थी। थी। थी। थी। थी। थी। थी। थी। थी। थी। थी। थी। थी।

Addressing journalists after visiting Kejriwal’s home on Thursday, Singh said that the AAP had repeatedly said that “the whole case was false, part of the BJP plot”.
“After that, people’s faith in the justice system will increase more. I just met the CM family. Everyone, his parents, his wife and his children are very satisfied with the court’s decision, ”added deputy Aap Rajya Sabha.
The surety order was a surprise for the BJP, whose leaders entered a group on Thursday evening and awaited “impatiently” the next move of the emergency in the case of Delhi’s accused policy, now, according to The case Indian Express.
“No one expected, including senior management. Everyone is waiting to see what the emergency does then; If he will be able to obtain a stay on the release of Kejriwal from a higher court and if the agency will be able to obtain his conviction, “said a source from the BJP to the newspaper.
Taking an excavation at AAP, BJP chief Manjinder Sirsa said that obtaining a deposit does not mean that there is “no evidence” against Kejriwal. “Evidence was there, and that is why the same court sent you to prison and then gave you a deposit, so you can’t even say that the court is biased,” he said PTI.
Why is Kejriwal’s surety
If and when Kejriwal comes out of prison, it will be a big boost for the AAP. Delhi is planned for assembly elections early next year.
The lamentable performance of the AAP in the Lok Sabha elections requires introspection. The party, which challenged the alliance with the Delhi congress, did not win a single seat of Lok Sabha, the BJP sweeping the seven districts of the national capital.
There was no connection with the Congress in Punjab where the AAP could only win three Lok Sabha seats.
Talk to Indian ExpressAn initiate AAP said: “Although discussions have taken place on the loss of Lok Sabha, it is now important to focus on the next challenge, which is the elections of the Assembly, expected in the first half. This is not the first time that the AAP has lost the Lok Sabha elections and won the assembly surveys by a landslide. This occurred in 2014 and 2019. But guaranteeing a third strong term is the top priority for the party at the moment. »»
While the release of Kejriwal will strengthen the rank of the party before the crucial elections of the Delhi Assembly in 2025, the chief minister cut off. Delhi fights against a serious water crisis and the BJP opposition increased pressure on the AAP government on the recurring issue.
The saffron party is expected to target Delhi’s CM on corruption allegations.
There are also several pending questions that require Kejriwal’s attention.
With the assembly elections in mind, a senior PAA official Indian Express The fact that the Delhi CM is likely to focus on the implementation of the Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Rashman program in which women eligible in the city will obtain aid of Rs 1,000 per month.
After Kejriwal is on deposit, the elections to the town hall, which have been in limbo since April, should finally take place.
According to the Indian Express The report, a meeting of the National Civil Capital Service Authority (NCCSA), the organization which oversees the transfer, publication and problems related to the vigilance of bureaucrats working with the Delhi government, could also be in the cards once that Kejriwal will be released from prison.
An AAP initiate told the newspaper that the Liberation of Delhi CM could “give momentum to a significant bureaucratic reshuffle” in the national capital.
While the BJP is likely to wedge Kejriwal on its “output” status, the AAP can use the surety order to underline the innocence of Delhi CM.
It is quite difficult to obtain a deposit under the law on the prevention of money laundering (PMLA). Article 45 (1) of this law stipulates that no accused should be endorsed unless “the court is convinced that there are reasonable reasons for believing that it is not guilty of such an offense and that he is unlikely to commit an offense when he is on bail under deposit ”.
Kejriwal’s deposit has strengthened the AAP complaint that the money laundering is “false”.
If the High Court cancels the surety order, it would be a big setback for the Delhi CM and its party.
