Supreme Court court hears an application by @KartiPC seeking leave to travel abroad in case by the Enforcement Directorate.

Senior Adv Kapil Sibal: bail has been granted and he is a Member of Parliament. He has cases pending against him

#SupremeCourt
ASG SV Raju: In February 2020 such an order has been passed earlier but with a deposit of Rs 10 crores

Senior Adv Sibal: It's not justified for a MP. he will not run away

Solicitor General: This condition has been for this case itself
Sibal: In Maneka Gandhi case it had been held that Right to travel is a fundamental right. Such conditions should not be imposed in this case. This is entirely unfair.
@KapilSibal
Justice Ashok Bhushan: The earlier order was passed by a three judge bench. Can it be made 5 crores

Sibal: This is what is unreasonable. The restriction under Article 19(2) has to be reasonable. Why is this condition of 5 crores there at all. These are banking transactions
Sibal: There is no chance of my tampering any evidence My Lord. It was only Justice Gogoi who imposed this condition. 2017, 2018 there was no condition like this. Such permissions have been granted for 7 times
@KartiPC @KapilSibal

Raju: It's factually incorrect.
Senior Adv Sibal: If I remember correctly such condition was imposed in Sahara case

Solicitor General: I will request you to not deviate from earlier orders

ASG Raju: Please allow the travel iterinary be submitted and places to visit.

Sibal: We will do that
Senior Adv Sibal: Can member of parliament run away ??

Solicitor General: Earlier it has happened too.
Justice Ashok Bhushan: Applicant shall make a deposit of two crores. @KartiPC to submit details on places to be visited in foreign country and the place where he will stay.

Sibal: Please direct to deposit in interest bearing account

#SupremeCourt
SC: Deposit in nationalised bank. Travel allowed for 6 months.

Vs Kapil Wadhawan) #SupremeCourt Image
#SupremeCourt says question of interim bail to be considered at the earliest by the three judge bench.

Justice Kaul-- it may not be open for a 2 judge bench to consider these issues.

Singhvi-- they have been in jail for over 11 months. The legal issue is open.
@DrAMSinghvi : When a conflict in law is there the decision should be in favour of the accused.

Justice Kaul-- a larger bench must consider this issue. We will request CJI to constitute a bench at the earliest. The conflict may be capable of resolution by a 3 judge
