Arvind Kejriwal's Challenge To ED Arrest : Live Updates From Supreme Court

J Khanna: what about signing files and attending office?

Singhvi: I don't want to say I am fettered. Won't be dealing with anything on this excise case

J Khanna: if you go to office, it may not be correct

Singhvi: there was no basis for arrest on March 21...please see Rane's case...normal bail conditions imposed...then Shiv Shankar Das (orissa)...

Singhvi: then Chandrababu Naidu...all few months ago...normal bail condition with conditions about giving press interviews or public comments

Singhvi: If I created a shield by not coming, why did you arrest me? Only 2 people arrested without S.50 statements, they had no material. I replied to CBI physically. Replied to ED summons. They don't reply 5 times

Singhvi: If your Lordships enlarging someone who is a threat to society? the question raised about not coming for 9 summons...when you arrested me ultimately, that time also I didn't come

J Khanna: confine yourself to issues raised by them

Singhvi: I am on without-portfolio issue. there is nothing unconstitutional about it

Singhvi: Mr Mehta is giving a wrong impression...such interim bails are granted, subject to conditions. The LG has 2 weeks ago returned a file on the basis that it is not signed by CM

J Khanna: how do you carve out an exception for your case? do not go on merits now

Singhvi: you are not granting bail to a "CM"...this is caricature of my argument. he is not a habitual offender

Mehta: in absence of signature of CM, administration does not stop. he does not sign. This is unheard of

J Khanna to Singhvi: what do you say on what they have said?

Mehta: we may complete in one session

J Khanna: not likely. suppose we allow, then this period cannot come back

Raju: Sanjay Singh has misused the bail

Mehta: your Lordships may defer the question until we are heard...just because he is running out of time...as if heavens would fall...we must get a fair chance
