Arvind Kejriwal's Plea Against His Arrest And ED Remand In Liquor Policy Case- LIVE UPDATES From Delhi High Court

Singhvi: In PMLA, proceeds of crime is the focus and not the predicate offence.

Hearing resumes.

Singhvi; your lordships were on Vijay Madanlal on the fact that section 50 is the basis of inquiry. Please turn page 9 of Vijay Madanlal.

Matter passed over again. The court is taking up the advance list at the moment. Matter will be taken up after 10 minutes.

Court: Mr. Hossain (special counsel for ED) koi time fix karle? Ho sakta hain koi acha time ho sunne ka. I can finish my advance list.

Singhvi: Can we trouble your lordships board after 10 minutes?

Court agrees. 

The court is informed that ASG SV Raju is having problem connecting in the VC.

Court: we'll wait for two minutes.

Court: I am sure that in the writ petition I'm going to issue notice for a short date. For interim, I can hear and decide it.

Singhvi: For the time being, hear me on the release.

Court: For that you can argue.

Singhvi: Your lordships may take it, I'm arguing for release. 

Singhvi: I'm not saying deny them hearing. Hearing is one thing but giving them opportunity to file reply in a matter where... Today no time is required for filing a reply.

Singhvi: Therefore I said that I'll argue some points. Your lordships may accept or dismiss it. Two of which I've already done.

Court: But I've to give equal hearing to you and them also. If I am giving opportunity to file reply in other matters, I'll give that opportunity to them in this too.

Singhvi: Which is why I said that my lordships may decide it today. It's a totally mala fide request to have it after two weeks or three weeks. One day of incarceration is too long in a liberty matter.

Singhvi: Release me today is the interim. Both depend on the validity of arrest. My learner friend doesn't have to file a separate reply as the prayers are identical. The entire basis is the remand order.
