Arvind Kejriwal, Chief Minister of Delhi has recently requested Supreme Court (SC) to quash the decision which was passed by the Delhi High Court (HC).
Delhi HC rejected his writ appealing his Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrest in his money laundering case. This case involved the Delhi tax policy-related issues. Arvind was detained on 21st March 2024.
He has filed the case to appear before Dipankar Datta and Sanjiv Khanna, against his detention along with Hemant Soren, who was earlier the Chief Minister of Jharkhand.
Kejriwal responded to ED’s counter-affidavit in this case. Hemant Soren filed a request to SC to relieve him from jail. Soren has stated that his arrest is completely unlawful and illegal.
The Jharkhand HC has reserved its decision on Soren’s appeal who needs relief from his arrest. He conveyed to Kabil Sibal, his senior counsel, that the decision is still pending from the HC.
As per the plea made by Soren’s advocate to the HC, his remand, in this case, was arbitrary and unwarranted and his arrest was illegal. He asked for urgent interim bail because of the Lok Sabha elections.
Soren was chairperson of Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) in January and was taken in custody in a land scam case. He made this interim bail request to attend the burial of his uncle.
He made an urgent plea to the SC because of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. He also promised to stay in jail, after the elections were over. This decision has been reserved since February this year. He was denied an interim bail of 13 days by the Special Prevention of Money Laundering (PMLA) Court at Ranchi.
