Setback to K Kavitha in Delhi Liquor Scam: SC Refuses Bail, Asks Her to Approach Trail Court
Setback to K Kavitha in Delhi Liquor Scam: SC Refuses Bail, Asks Her to Approach Trail Court
Kavitha was arrested last week in the Delhi liquor policy case.

The Supreme Court on Friday asked BRS leader K Kavitha to move trail court for bail as the apex court “cannot admit relief petition under Article 32 of the Constitution”. Kavitha was arrested last week in the Delhi liquor policy case.

According to a report by Live Law, after the court made the above oral observation, Kavitha’s lawyer, Kapil Sibal, said, “Only one request, please don’t tell me to go back to High Court. Hear it, decide it against me, I do not mind. But See what is happening in our country. Every statement is of an approver, there is not a single piece of evidence. It is contrary to this Court’s order.”

Sibal further protested and told the Bench, led by Justices Sanjiv Khanna, MM Sundresh, and Bela Trivedi: “My lords, what happened in Hemant Soren? What is happening in the trial court? This cannot happen.”

The report further stated that after hearing senior advocate Kapil Sibal, the Bench made it clear that the Bench unambiguously agreed that it would not let the statutory procedures bypass just because there was a political person involved.

Ultimately, the apex court was unconvinced and asked the petitioner to approach the trial court, Live Law stated.

Kavitha, who was arrested by an ED team on March 15, is in ED’s custodial interrogation for seven days till March 23. She was arrested after a search operation conducted at Kavitha’s residence in Hyderabad on the same day.
