Supreme Court granted interim bail to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in liquor scam case. A bench headed by Justice Sanjeev Khanna passed the verdict. However, Kejriwal is currently in jail as the Supreme Court granted interim bail in enforcement cases. The case is ongoing with the CBI. The Supreme Court held that we have not examined the question of bail but we have examined the parameters of Section 19 PMLA. We have explained the difference between Section 19 and Section 45. Section 19 is subjective opinion of authorities and subject to judicial review. Section 45 is invoked only by the court. A constitution bench of the Supreme Court will look into whether the PMLA provision is valid or not. Is Kejriwal's arrest justified or not?
