Justice Khanna : Issue notice, returnable on the week commencing 29th April, 2024.
Singhvi requests for an earlier date.
Justice Khanna declines, says this is the most possible shortest date.
Singhvi : I am asking for an extremely short date, possibly this Friday, for a reason. This is a very unusual matter. Not because he is a Chief Minister. There are two documents, FIR and ECIR and eight chargesheets, between the CBI and the ED. This petitioner is not named. Point number 2- the story starts from September 2022. He is arrested on March 21, 2024. Between that time, there are 16 statements, 10 by one person, Sarath Reddy and six by others. All 15 statements do not state the above. One statement becomes positive....the object of arrest, post the model code of conduct, is to disable me from campaigning.
SG objects.
Singhvi : I am saying that this an unusual manner...this petitioner is not named in the ECIR or chargesheet. There are 15 statements...
Justice Khanna : Reserve the arguments.
Singhvi : I want to show some facts, to shock the conscience of the court. There are some selective leaks... #ArvindKejriwal #SupremeCourtofIndia
