Pleas Of Arvind Kejriwal & Hemant Soren Against ED Arrest : Live Updates From Supreme Court

Hearing has concluded

J Khanna: Tomorrow? We will see tomorrow

Singhvi: I am saying they have no material in section 50 statements recorded

J Khanna: We have understood, how much more time?

Singhvi: Atleast an hour

Singhvi: Maximum you have Sarath Reddy statement...If I don't go for Section 50 statement, that does not give reason to believe

J Khanna: Right, that might not be itself ground to hold guilty

Singhvi: The denial in interim of my bail cannot be ground to come to my home for arrest. The arrest did not happen for 1.5 years

Singhvi: You (ED) can't say you have reason to believe because he (Kejriwal) did not get interim relief from arrest

J Khanna: are you not contradicting yourself? you say section 50 not recorded, but then you don't appear for it

Singhvi: I'm saying, one of the essential ingredients...

Singhvi: They arrested me from my home. They did not record Sec 50 statement there

Singhvi refers to Pankaj Bansal judgment

ED Can't Be Vindictive, Grounds Of Arrest Must Be Furnished In Writing To The Accused : Supreme Court

Singhvi (hypothetically): If accused says I won't give statement, can you say since you didn't cooperate, therefore I'll arrest?

Singhvi: It's my right not to go. It's separately being prosecuted. That can't be ground for arrest or reason to believe!

J Khanna: They sent you notices, you avoided

Singhvi: I went when CBI called. I replied to ED notices in detail. I said I was not going to come. But today, you can't arrest by saying you didn't come so we arrested
