In Arvind Kejriwal Bail Order, A "Bias" Observation For Probe Agency

The judge in the bail order dismissed the probe agency's argument that "investigation is an art".

While granting bail to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the excise policy case on Thursday, a Delhi court's order had cited the Enforcement Directorate's (ED) failure to present direct evidence linking him to the proceeds of crime. The judge in the bail order dismissed the probe agency's argument that "investigation is an art".

The order passed on Thursday has, however, been stayed by the Delhi High Court on an appeal by the ED. The trial court order was made available to the media on Friday.

In the order granting relief to Mr Kejriwal, Special Judge Niyay Bindu held that prima facie his guilt was yet to be established.
