      Singh: All I do, at the end of investigation, I submit it. Today after SC judgment, whatever I don't rely I place copy of unrelied documents. Whatever I rely upon I put it as statements and relied upon documents. What I don't rely, I put it in the list which they can come and check. And the court can look into it.

      Singh: They say nine hours were taken. He took his own time to answer question. Every question was typed. When he was asked to go. He said no I have to read entire thing, he made some corrections. There was a big crowd outside CBI office wanting his release at the earliest. The question is who will decide how to investigate a case?

      Singh: As far as accused go, they have all special rights and privileges. And on the balance which statute provides, the privilege with investigating agency is far less than accused.

      Singh: Kindly have two dates. I call him under section 160. They say we called him as witness. There is no justification. Section 160 isn't for witness, it is to call anybody who is acquainted with facts of case. It can be a suspect, accused or witness.

      CBI SPP DP Singh commences submissions.

      Singh: As a prosecutor, I don't have a privilege to use terms which statute doesn't permit and has not meaning. Using term insurance arrest, power of arrest by office is one thing. It being tested by a court is another. Using such term is not justified.

      Singhvi: The blood sugar level has declined. The high part is still manageable but the sweeping low part is dangerous. Take a holistic view, triple test view.

      Singhvi concludes his submissions.

      Singhvi: In any case the simple test is triple test. In common sense, I always call common sense is paramount. Can I go an touch the evidence? I cannot. What will be the evidence issue? Can I do non cooperation? If you want to have coffee every week, I'll come. Flight risk has become very limited ground. Which test are you talking about? That I am a threat to society, on what basis? Everybody is getting bail, ironically my party's name is Aam Aadmi Party, but this fellow is not getting bail.

      Singhvi: All is decided, remand, arrest, seeking examination. These are the grounds of bail actually. Going to the trial court would be a futile exercise.

    • 17 July 2024 12:41 PM IST

      Singhvi: I have already got bail. I've been released thrice. Unless your lordships find earth shattering, twice by SC and once by trial court I've been released.

    • 17 July 2024 12:40 PM IST

      Singhvi: The principal people, five of them, have got bail. Nine not arrested. And you're saying this will go till end, till eternity.

    • 17 July 2024 12:40 PM IST

      Singhvi: I am pressing interim relief in this. In case there is any delay, I am pressing for interim relief.

      CBI's counsel: We will continue till 4 PM because I have a flight tomorrow. I made a request to finish it today.
