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

Singhvi: It's the same thing, that unless you confess, I am arresting.

Singhvi: At the highest, two grounds that I am not cooperating and statement of MSR of January 2024. You're coming in June. Both are non existing grounds.

Singhvi: The fourth point is malice in law. It's a sham arrest, an insurance arrest, a non necessity arrest. It cannot be sustained.

Singhvi: When they came to interrogate me and didn't arrest me, they had same material which they had to arrest me a day later. The material is six months old, I am already in ED custody.

Singhvi reads "The timing may be circumspect but it is not the clear criterian for declaring an arrest illegal."

Singhvi: Why not? He is saying the timing may be circumspect but he is drawing back. 

Singhvi: What is the new evidence? Statement of Magunta Reddy recorded in January.

Singhvi: A hook or crook arrest.

Singhvi refers to trial court order.

Timing Of Arvind Kejriwal's CBI Arrest Circumspect, But Arrest Not Illegal: Delhi Court

Singhvi: Who is the master of these provisions? It is the judge. Not the police officer.

Singhvi now refers to production warrant.

Singhvi: The traditional law is that it can only be for enquiry or trial and not for investigation. 

Singhvi: In my case I am sitting in jail. You can interrogate me. You don't need to arrest me. This is an additional arrest, an insurance arrest, because this man shouldn't walk free.

Singhvi: Why arrest? Is it really required? What purpose it will serve?

Singhvi: On section 41 alone I can be released. The judge could have released me alone on reading of section 41. No hearing, no notice.
