Arvind Kejriwal's Challenge To ED Arrest : Live Updates From Delhi High Court Hearing
Raju: There are large number of income tax data.
Court: Before I reserve, I'd like to see the file.
Raju: Sometimes what happens is when the IO calls a witness and he says I don't know anything. It doesn't mean the first statement is wrong. When he is confronted with material and says I was wrong.
It is not necessary that first and second statements have to be correct. Asli cheez is the matter of trial. It's for the IO to decide. Accused can't decide. They don't name him doesn't mean it's exculpatory. I'm learning criminal law for the first time.
Raju: Our case is that he is arrested in a dual capacity. First is individually, which is manifest from statements of approvers and witnesses.
Raju: On the grounds of suppression, the writ petition is liable to be thrown out. There are large no of judgments on this subject. This is the fairness which they are doing and they expect us to be fair. Look at their fairness which I've demonstrated.
Raju: Contrary to the record and order. They don't even read order and file petition. Or is this to mislead the court?
There was fresh material and fortunately the court recorded it in its order.
Raju: False statements. Who is guilty of making false statements? Not me. The petitioner is guilty of making false statements.
Raju: It's not that we are relying on old stale statements. It's only a figment of imagination.
He has made a false statement in the synopsis that the last statemt is of August 2023. Totally false statement. We recorded statements even thereafter.
Raju: All this cash payments to large number of persons were done in cash. That cash is not accounted for in the books of accounts.
Even the candidate of AAP has accepted this. He said I was given cash. Therefore we have located the money trail. Money can't be found but that doesn't mean money laundering offence didn't take place.
Raju: There are even section 164 statements before the magistrate. You say that ED pressurized. But what about magistrate? You want to say even magistrate put pressure on the witnesses?
Raju: This isn't a mechanical order. It's an order passed after application of mind and perusal of the material.
