Arvind Kejriwal's Plea Against CBI Arrest : Live Updates From Delhi High Court

Singh: The court says there is material and need to arrest. There is a justification of arrest and I am entitled to have custodial interrogation of accused. I've passed the judicial scrutiny which is being talked about. The question is, till how long you'll go?

Singh: Who sees whether the case is justified or not?

I was to be tested. My first test is by the court when I produced him. I pass that test. Today I am at the peril and showing the special judge. Subjectivity is seen by special judge and I pass the test because there is material.

Singh: Who can influence or derail the investigation? It is this man. We had to have sufficient evidence for this. Right time could have been now also when he got released. I have to develop a subjective satisfaction and I did.

Singh: I am justifying my reasons for arrest. I am saying that even the entire money which has gone to Goa elections, who goes there? Not Manish Sisodia or anyone else. It is this man who goes to Goa. There is evidence now and they would have been influenced had he not been taken into custody. Those witnesses tell very significant thing.

Singh: Who has appointed? He is head of AAP, he is CM. Someone doing very important job for him, he says I don't know. It's not about self incrimination. It's about when you try to derail investigation. CBI investigation is way different than others.

Singh: In my application, what do I write.... I show to court during his interrogation... Whatever was there was shown to court. We haven't said that he did not agree to a particular thing. I say cooperation is there are certain things which are not incriminating. If I say if you were part of the meeting, someone has to show yes or no. We ask him whose idea was to privatize. He is heading the cabinet, he says it's not my idea to privatise. It shows he is trying to put the blame on anyone but not him.

Singh: My friends talk of misleading. Let me show who misleads.

Kejriwal's counsels: It was not recorded before the trial court.

Singh: It was recorded. We argued it. You were there. It was even recorded. It was even recorded by Live Law. 

Singh: I've to show why arrest was necessary. But before that, the fundamental argument is my officer makes a subjective opinion of his arrest, gives reasons. The reason is then taken to the supervisory officer. It is then debated, reasoned decision taken that we might have to arrest him. CD records that.

Singh: I request my lady that the CD, which is much before the arrest, be seen. It was also seen by the trial court.

Singh: I have to show things which are different from PMLA. I'll show about the test. It is certainly, even in the judgement they say, it's the subjective satisfaction of the officer.
