New Delhi, June 26 (HS): Jailed Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has withdrawn the petition filed against the order of the Delhi High Court from the Supreme Court. The petition has been withdrawn by Kejriwal to challenge it again on new grounds. The court allowed Kejriwal to withdraw the petition.
The court again allowed Kejriwal to file a new petition against the decision of the Delhi High Court of June 25. During the hearing, the ED also did not object to Kejriwal withdrawing the petition.
On June 25, the Delhi High Court stayed the bail order granted to Kejriwal by the trial court. The High Court said that the order of the trial court is not correct. It should have looked at all the documents. The court said that the trial court should give the ED ample opportunity to present arguments. The High Court said that the trial court has not followed the two conditions of Section 45 of the Money Laundering Act.
The High Court said that the trial court did not take the earlier orders of the Supreme Court correctly. The High Court said that the interim bail granted to Kejriwal by the Supreme Court was for election campaigning. In such a situation, that order cannot be cited for personal freedom.
On June 24, the Supreme Court had deferred the hearing on the petition filed by Kejriwal against the High Court's order of interim stay on the bail order. During the hearing, the Supreme Court expressed surprise that the High Court reserved the decision on the demand for stay on bail, while the order is passed at the same time on the demand for stay on bail.
