New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Tuesday dismissed the petition of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal challenging his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate in the Excise Policy case.
 
The Court said 'the arrest of Kejriwal is not in contravention of Law and so the remand cannot be termed illegal'.
 
A single bench of Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma said 'there is no separate law for the common man or the Chief Minister.
 
There is no special privilege for Arvind Kejriwal.
 
The Court said it won’t lay down two separate laws'.
 
It said that the statement of approver was recorded by the Court. 'The Approver statement cannot be questioned. To doubt the approver is to doubt the judge'. The CM can cross-examine the witness later, the HC said.
 
The probe is irrespective of election timings, the Court held. 'The Chief Minister cannot decide how the probe has to be done. Probe is not as per accused convenience', the Judge said.
