Last Updated: 13 Sept 2024

Modi's ED regularly used stringent Law(PMLA) to frame his fierced opponents and gain him political advantage

Kejriwal's arrest not only exposed this ED modus-operandi but also made way for SC to frame checks against Mis-use of PMLA as listed here PMLA & Checks by SC

ED acting in BIAS, remarked by Trial Court[1]

While giving regular Bail to Kejriwal "court to draw an inference against the investigating agency that it is not acting without bias”
"ED has failed to give any direct evidence against the applicant in respect of the proceeds of crime”

Caged Parrot remark for CBI by SC judge[2]

“It appears only after the Trial Court granted regular bail to the appellant in the ED case, that CBI became active and sought custody"

PETTY Politics & Inhumane DENIAL of Medical Treatment allegedly to KILL him[3]

-- DENIED access to insulin in jail, despite being Type 2 diabetes patient[4]
-- Kejriwal's sugar levels had dropped 5 times below the 50-mark, which could have either killed him or paralysed him[3:1]
-- PETTY Politicisation of even his food[4:1]
-- Kejriwal had lost 8.5 kg since he was arrested[3:2]

'Unusual' Judicial Scenarios

1. Delhi HC staying Regular Bail, purportedly without even receiving the trial court order[5]

Supreme Court found Delhi High Court's Move to Stay Arvind Kejriwal's Bail 'Unusual'[6]

  • Delhi court granted regular Bail to Kejriwal in ED case on June 21
  • ED rushed to Delhi high court and the judge, Sudhir Kumar Jain, heard it on the very same day
  • HC judge, Sudhir Kumar Jain, purportedly allowed ED appeal & stayed bail even before he had received, let alone read, the Rouse Avenue court’s judgement

2. Delhi HC judge, who stayed bail, Sudhir Kumar Jain's brother was ED Counsel[7]

  • Justice Jain’s brother is counsel for the ED, a fact which 150 lawyers have argued, should have led to his recusal from the case
