Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of Arvind Kejriwal's arrest under Section 19 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002, affirming that the trial courts have the jurisdiction to examine the legality of such arrests. The Court held that the arrest was valid as Kejriwal failed to comply with summons issued under Section 50 of the PML Act. The appeal against the High Court's dismissal of his writ petition was rejected, reinforcing the enforcement agency's authority in such matters.
