Delhi High Court issues notice to Enforcement Directorate on plea moved by CM Arvind Kejriwal raising issues of legality and validity regarding the arrest and remand.
The bench of Justice Swarna Kanta Sharma stated that the respondent/ED has to be granted an opportunity to file a reply, as an opportunity for effective representation, and declining this opportunity would amount to denial of fair hearing as well as violation of one of the principles of natural justice i.e., audi-alteram partem, which is applicable to both the parties and not one. Court further stated that any release order from custody will amount to enlarging the accused/petitioner/Arvind Kejriwal on bail or interim bail, as an interim measure. The writ jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India is not a ready substitute for recourse to the remedy of bail under Section 439 of the CrPC ordinarily. (ANI)
