Court: At 2:15 PM.
Court breaks for lunch. Matter will be continued at 2:15 PM.

Bribe givers have said that he demanded Rs. 100 crores. But not considered.
Court: We'll continue after lunch.
ASG now refers to trial court order. He is reading the portion where the judge made observations against ED on statements of approvers.
ASG: The SC says that there has to be inducement.
ASG refers to observations that ED acted with bias.
ASG is now reading the findings of Delhi High Court while rejecting Kejriwal's plea against the arrest.
ASG: I am saying look at the soundness of the order. Could have granted bail but not in this manner. Totally perverse order.
ASG: We showed material but nothing considered. There are two ways when bail can be cancelled. If relevant facts are not considered and irrelevant facts considered, that is a ground for cancellation of bail.
ASG now refers to a 2014 Supreme Court judgment on the subject.
ASG: I am not on cogent reasons. I am on irrelevant circumstances considered. Which is a seperate ground for cancellation of bail.
ASG: Mala fide is demolished by the High Court judgment.
ASG: In face of the Delhi High Court order, the trial court could not have decided in his favour.
ASG: Compare the judgment with the findings. This court says no mala fide. She gives a finding on mala fide on same facts. SC has not said that you decide uninfluenced by that judgment.
