Liquor Policy Case | CBI Challenge To Discharge Of Kejriwal, Sisodia : Live Updates From Delhi High Court

Hearing ends. Next date of hearing is March 16.

Court: I will pass an order. I will stay whatever observations are made against the investigating agency.

I will ask the trial court to defer proceedings in ED case to a date after a date given by this court and await proceedings of this case.

Issue notice. Let replies be filed.

Court dictates order.

Court records submissions of Mehta.

Mehta: The court may fix time schedule as early as possible. Stay of the judgment may mean trial may commence but i need limited protection. Once predicate offence goes, ed matter is also ongoing. This shouldn’t affect that. There are paras after paras where ED chargesheet has also been virtually given a go back.

Mehta: All accused discharged, case closed. Nobody is put to trial. The entire exercise of the agency goes into vein.

You served them advance notice? Court

SGI: We served them.

Mehta: The court seems to be more conversant with constitutional law than criminal law.

Mehta: I have prepared a chart, each finding to show how it is perverse and wrong, at the wrong stage.

Mehta: What is the evidence we have gathered, and it is all ignored….

Mehta referring to discharge order: The examination will have to take place at the stage of trial.

All these people who took part in the meeting will come before court. Dinesh arora, the approver, was there in meeting and he says everything.

Mehta: The bribe givers wanted to tweak some policy and therefore they sent it through WhatsApp.
