Court flays ED over 'arbitrary arrests'

The court emphasised that the power to arrest must be balanced by clear regulations and strict supervision.

Additional Sessions Judge Dheeraj Mor of the Patiala House Court granted Agarwal bail, noting a troubling inconsistency in the ED's investigation. The court highlighted that while a previous investigating officer (IO) had named Agarwal as a witness, a subsequent IO arrested him based on the same evidence a move the court found concerning.

Judge Mor, in his order on August 31, emphasised the need for objectivity in investigations, warning against subjective interpretations by IOs, which could lead to arbitrary decisions and unjust curtailment of individual liberty.
