The Delhi high court on Friday stayed a trial court order granting bail to chief minister Arvind Kejriwal till the pronouncement of its order on Enforcement Directorate (ED) plea seeking stay on the bail order.
The vacation bench of Justice Sudhir Kumar Jain said it would take two-three days to pronounce the order on ED’s stay application. “In the meantime the petitioner and the respondent shall be at the liberty to file written submissions latest by Monday,” court noted in the order.
The court also issued notice in ED’s stay application and its plea challenging trial court’s order granting bail to the Aam Aadmi Party convenor.
During the hearing, ED’s counsel SV Raju called the trial court’s decision as ‘lopsided’ and ‘one-sided’.
“Matter has been decided without considering the documents. Without considering the documents, how can you come to the finding that they are relevant or irrelevant. Without perusing the documents, you say that they are “irrelevant.” Even this is perverse,” the additional solicitor general had argued.
