The Delhi High Court will rule on the maintainability of a petition filed by Bibhav Kumar, a close aide to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, challenging his detention by the Delhi Police. The court order will be issued on July 1, 2024. Bibhav Kumar was arrested on May 18 in connection with an FIR filed in the Swati Maliwal assault case. After hearing extensive arguments, Justice Swarna Kanta Sharma delayed her decision on the maintainability of Kumar`s case until May 31, 2024, reported ANI.
Kumar`s lawyer, Senior Advocate N Hariharan, said that Kumar was arrested unlawfully while his anticipatory bail request was being heard, infringing on his fundamental rights. Hariharan claimed that the arrest violated the 41A procedure, requiring court involvement.
