The Delhi High Court will hear today the petition filed by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal challenging his arrest by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) under the Prevention of Corruption Act in relation to the liquor policy case.
Justice Neena Bansal Krishna will hear the matter. Last week, the Supreme Court had granted interim bail to Kejriwal in the case registered by the Enforcement Directorate under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act in relation to the same liquor policy case.

DP Singh resumes his submissions.
Singh: They said they have been released in three orders. I'll read some portions. Please see in what circumstances, does it even merit to say that it was such a release that they can boast about it? We are not Pakistan as argued by them. That's the strength of our judicial system.

Singh refers to Delhi prison rules: Its between the agency and court... If there was an insurance arrest, I could have exercised my right to arrest in terms of Section 41 itself. But I don't do that. We come back and assess his statement. And then we decide we need to arrest him. Application was moved only after this court granted complete stay on his bail. Insurance arrest is something, though it doesn't mean anything...it would have been that I could have arrested so that I could have preclude whatever I am not aware of.
