Singhvi: Between the 10th May order, which made me come back on 3rd June...
ASG: Digest is creating confusion, entire judgement may be shown
J Kant: You can make a note, Mr Raju if something relevant is missed
Singhvi: It was reserved 1.5 months earlier. This is the order in the other bench which says "given that right to life is sacrosanct...and Kejriwal has suffered incarceration for over 90 days..."
Singhvi: Now please the detailed Supreme Court order
J Kant: What is serial no.29 in your dates?
Singhvi: This is the current arrest. The order I am handing over was reserved by Supreme Court pre-vacations but delivered on 12 July
Singhvi: He is obviously not a threat in a PMLA case. Today, there is only triple test...next order, regular bail by trial court in a Section 45 PMLA context. This was stayed on an oral mentioning by High Court. Effectively 3 orders
Singhvi: No arrest by CBI till then. ED arrest leads to two release orders
Singhvi reads from the two orders
J Kant: 14 April...you received a 160 notice, appeared before CBI
Singhvi: This case today is only CBI case. I was arrested in March, 2024 by ED, not CBI
Singhvi: Insurance arrest by CBI...which did not happen for 2 years
J Kant: What is the offense alleged?
Singhvi: PC Act...I'm not named in FIR. I am called for questioning in April, 2023, almost 8 months after FIR as a witness
Singhvi: One prefatory opening point...I believe bail matter should be done on robust common sense. This is perhaps the only case where I have two release orders under a more stringent Act...plus regular bail
