The Enforcement Directorate has approached the Delhi High Court against the trial court's order granting bail to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal yesterday in the Delhi liquor policy case.
A bench comprising Justice Sudhir Kumar Jain and Justice Ravinder Dudeja has agreed to hear the ED's challenge today itself after an urgent mentioning was made by Additional Solicitor General SV Raju.
ASG SV Raju appeared for ED and mentioned the matter before the court. He prayed that the bail order be stayed.
“There is a matter where I'm moving for urgent stay. The order has not yet been uploaded. Conditions not known. We have not been given full opportunity to oppose the bail application,” he said.
ASG further said that while the law says that the public prosecutor must be given full opportunity to argue, but he was not given such an opportunity and his arguments were curtailed.
Senior Advocates Abhishek Manu Singhvi and Vikram Chaudhari appeared for Kejriwal. Chaudhari said that ED should "gracefully accept" the order.
“Let the file come… I have not passed the final order. The file will come to me in 10-15 minutes. Then you can make detailed arguments,” the bench said while allowing the listing for today.
