The Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) arrested Amanatullah Khan after conducting raids at his premises on September 16.
A Delhi court today reserved its order on the bail plea of AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan in a case related to alleged irregularities at the Delhi Waqf Board.
Special Judge Vikas Dhull said the order would be pronounced on Wednesday.
Senior Advocate Rahul Mehra, appearing for Amanatullah Khan, said that all ingredients for Section 409 (Criminal breach of trust by a public servant or by banker, merchant or agent, etc.) of the IPC were missing and the prosecution had "cherry-picked the Chairman of Waqf Board (Amanatullah Khan) for reasons of their choice." The counsel also said that no rules were violated and the allegations were at best a procedural lapse, attracting departmental proceedings.
Further, the counsel said that there was "absolutely no misappropriation of funds," nor was there any prima facie evidence of any money has exchanged hands.
