#COVID19

@DelhiPolice

Hearing begins before Sandeep Garg, Additional Sessions Judge, Saket Courts.

#NavneetKalra

Reply by IO has not been received: Court

#NavneetKalra

Court says that reply be sent to it.

There is no complainant in the case.. media people are there.. now we are convicted even before.. : Senior advocate Vikas Pahwa for #NavneetKalra

I expect a fair investigation and trial : Pahwa

That's the right of every accused: Court

#NavneetKalra

It is a campaign against me that has resulted in the case against me.. : Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

Pahwa says that days before the FIR, Kalra had made a complaint to the Police that he was being framed.

Four people were there at the restaurant. Employees of Matrix Cellular were there.. my manager who was there to give food was also arrested: Pahwa

Subsequent recoveries are made. After arrest they recovered 387 concentrators and 95 oxymeter from Matrix office: Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

One day police remand is given and more recoveries are made.. 9 recoveries from Town Hall and 96 from Khan Chacha: Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

One more person bis arrested.. Mr Gaurav Khanna, the senior most employee of Matrix.. they inform the Police that oxygen concentrators were imported via proper channel.. and sold through an App: Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

The GST that we take from buyer is deposited with the government.. GST dept is also informed. On a preliminary investigation itself.., it was manifested that these are authenticated, properly imported.. everything is complied with : Pahwa

All transactions are through banking channels.. we are helping people by importing these good. Oxygen concentrators are not cosmetics.. it is used when someone is medically unfit: Pahwa

Where is the offence of Matrix is importing and selling through proper channel: Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

According to Investigating Agency it is an exorbitant price.. we all know how panic is in the city. RWA is buying.. police officers, judicial officers, politicians have bought.. I have the list : Pahwa

Exorbitant price is when government fixes a ceiling price...in this case there is is no memorandum.. we could not find even a single notification fixing the price of oxygen concentrator: Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

Pahwa says each type of oxygen concentrators costs different.

The one which was available for 75k was for 6.5 kg, and one for 2 lakh weighed 18 kg. There are all types of Oxygen concentrators.. some are cheap. Price is fixed as per quality: Pahwa

Ab attempt was made by govt in June 2020 when they asked for MRP on Oxygen concentrators but then it wasn't taken forward.. : Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

Pahwa takes the court through the Essential Commodities Act.

There is no specific order with regard to oxygen concentrators or masks declaring them to be essential commodities: Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

It should be an essential commodity first and then it gives power to govt to regulate, says Pahwa

If my Ld friend is able to make out that essential commodities act is applicable, the max punishment is 7 years.. : Pahwa

When effort is to de congest bail in terms of High Powered Committee guidelines.. is arrest imperative: Pahwa

#COVID19
#NavneetKalra

Pahwa says except Section 420IPC, all other sections are bailable.

Was it necessary for the arrest of those four people when recoveries were made and now they are after me : Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

Direction was given by High Powered Committee to Police to ensure compliance of Arnesh Kumar.. HPC thought that Police was not following this judgement at all: Pahwa

Surpreme Court said that the entire country was not following Arnesh Kumar: Pahwa

Pahwa reads the Surpreme Court order on decongestion of jails amid #COVID19.

Power of arrest today is controlled by courts as you are risking the lives of people... especially when you have recovered (the stock) ...where is the need to arrest in this case? Arrest during pandemic is restricted by the Courts : Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

The government has failed to fix the MRP and they have no documents to show that government has fixed the MRP : Pahwa

#NavneetKalra
#OxygenConcentrator

Pahwa reads the reply filed by Delhi Police.

@DelhiPolice

All sales are through involves containing GST.. if we go back, proper customs, GST paid by Matrix.. I have sold through invoices...so where is the question of black marketing? : Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

Where is hoarding in this case? Not even a single offence is made out.. it is only to divert the attention of people. My photos are circulated.. on all WhatsApp groups. It is all done by design : Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

They have created a scapegoat so that attention is diverted from core issues: Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

Pahwa continues to read the reply by Delhi Police.

Till date they have not done anything. Till today they have chain of documents. They are presuming something and saying we have to investigate... : Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

What they have at the time of arrest are the recoveries.. they thought let's first arrest and then collect evidence. You should have first issued notice, secs 91, 41 CrPC notices are issued. Everything is pending: Pahwa

This office memorandum by them is very interesting.. : Pahwa

Govt says MRP of Medical device can't be increased more than 10% in a year. What is is MRP has not been decided: Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

Effort was made to acquire the information.. under DPCO 2013.. to submit the MRP details within 10 days.. : Pahwa

This is not a memorandum under essential commodities act.. this is dated June 29, 2020 : Pahwa

Till date this exercise has not been completed. Till date MRP under DPCO has not been fixed. The entire obligation is that of the government: Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

Pahwa takes the court through other notifications given by police.

They are saying oxymeter and concentrator are drugs and therefore are covered : Pahwa

Pahwa takes the court through notification on import of oxygen concentrator being exempted from duty in case of gift.

Pahwa says oxygen concentrators can come even through post..

Their conclusion that is that it is an essential commodities but there is no order till date : Pahwa

I will do it provided you fix the MRP, a cap : Pahwa

Both are fixed by govt and not by me..if you don't fix, where is violation by me : Pahwa

This is the way investigation is conducted.. the quality of investigation.. they are relying on social media reports: Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

What is the source? Social media. We know how CrPC functions, how section 164, complaints are filed. Is this the way crime branch works.. : Pahwa

They can't rely on social media to arrest me : Pahwa

Social media posts alleged that Navneet Kalra didn't supply or sold faulty equipment.

They say tomorrow people may come to us and that's why we have to arrest. Is this the way criminal justice works: Pahwa

#Navneet

Complete ignorance of procedure under crpc in this case and reliance is social media: Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

If someone invests money and makes profit, exorbitant profits...it may be immoral...but is it an offence: Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

Lodhi colony is a central place..you need to store them somewhere. According to them it is an offence, you should have informed authorities: Pahwa

Idea is you book on app, provide money through banking channel.. people would come and pick up : Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

Purchaser has to come and say there's wrongful loss to him : Pahwa

There has to be an aggrieved person, that there was false representation and they paid the money.. there are none whatsoever..there are 100s of people thanking me : Pahwa

There was an acute shortage...it is not a wrongful loss to purchaser : Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

Are we talking about malafide ? How is it malafide...the entire report is conjecture: Pahwa

To be influential can't be a ground to deny bail: Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

Everything is documented.. sold through app, money through banking channel.. you say buyers have to be verified: Pahwa

Pahwa takes the court through the Drug Prices Control Order 2013.

Ceiling price has to be fixed by the govt.. this order doesn't cover Oxygen concentrators and masks : Pahwa

Retail price is again fixed by the government : Pahwa

Pahwa takes the court through the DPCO order.

No order has been passed by the government on fixation of ceiling price of a drug.. : Pahwa as he continues to read the DPCO order

#NavneetKalra

When ceiling and MRP are not fixed, how can there be a violation. Presuming there is a violation.., the manufacturer shall be liable to deposit the over charged amount as penalty: Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

In June 2020, they created a portal and sought details of MRP and also email it.. but they have not produced anything beyond that. The reply is silent : Pahwa

Pahwa takes the court through National List of Essential Medicines.

No equipment are included. Nowhere in this order there is a reference to oxygen concentrators: Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

It is a complete inaction on part of the government. It is only after FIR that they came with the notification which also doesn't fix the MRP or ceiling price : Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

Adv Vineet Malhotra takes the Court through the Delhi High Court order asking Central Government to examine the aspect of fixing profit margins for oxygen concentrators.

#NavneetKalra

Delhi High Court asks ASG if there is any amount fixed and he says no, he has to take instructions.. this is one day after FIR is filed: Pahwa

Pahwa takes the court through a trial court order passed in State vs Vinay Agarwal.

The order notes that there was no notification on declaring Oxygen concentrators as essential commodities.

This order till date stands: Pahwa

This order (under Essential commodities act) is very very essential.. : Pahwa as he takes the court through a Supreme court judgement.

This OM etc that they are citing.. will not become an order under section 3 of Essential commodities act: Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

Till date, no order under section 3 is placed which is sought to be violated : Pahwa

Even if they are able to make out essential commodities act, there are judgement to say that offence is a bailable: Pahwa

Essential commodities act is totally out of this FIR, is my submission: Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

Section 188IPC is bailable.. : Pahwa

Epidemic Act is bailable: Court

Only non bailable is 420 IPC and it is not made out in the present case : Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

Pahwa reads the definition of cheating under IPC.

There has to be malafide intention, inducement...in this case nothing is alleged in the FIR or the reply : Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

There are certain facts that are established. There was import, it was passed through custom clearance, GST was informed, it was sold through banking channel : Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

Import is done by Matrix Cellular. I'm in the second leg : Pahwa

It is a malafide arrest : Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

I filed a complaint with the police that there is black marketing: Malhotra

He's having only liquid food via straw.. he's providing a service to the society. He's buying at 45k and selling at 55-57k: Malhotra

#NavneetKalra

Anyone who is black marketing will not go to the police : Malhotra

#NavneetKalra

Court proceeds to break for lunch.

We'll resume at 2 pm : Court

Hearing resumes.

#NavneetKalra

The other section in FIR is Epidemic Diseases Act: Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

Pahwa takes the court through the Act.

The Act is not applicable in this case at all : Pahwa

Penalty is in terms of section 188 IPC. How is this Act applicable, we don't know. Even if it is, it is bailable : Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

Pahwa reads provisions on act of violence against Doctors, healthcare service personnel.

Are you relying on this part? : Court to Prosecutor.

This is bailable offence.. we're at an initial stage. It would be very difficult for me to say : PP Atul Srivastava

At this stage, we can skip it: Court

It is amended in regard to corona warriors. As on date, they have apprently not assaulted any doctors: PP Srivastava

Pahwa highlights that Kalra received a threat from a person who wanted to take Oxygen concentrators for resale and not for personal use.

I informed three days prior.. : Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

Pahwa reads the complaint made to Delhi Police by Navneet Kalra.

I disclose my bank account three days prior to the incident: Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

Three days prior to the entire raid, while I'm in hospital, I inform the police. I give the machine to only needy.. I'm making a complaint of black marketing and today I'm being...it was a task that was undertaken to help people : Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

I'm only saying is custodial Investigation required. I'm not asking for quashing or discharge: Pahwa

If I'm genuinely found.., I will face the trial : Pahwa

There is no complaint by anyone, all through banking channel.. where is the offence.. if I was doing it clandestinely, I would not have informed the police: Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

Where is the criminal intent to cheat in this case. Despite all this, a campaign is run against me...public at large is not aware of it. My image has already been damaged: Pahwa

Arresting and then Investigating is not the right way : Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

These are judgements on impact of trial by media.. it affects adminstration of justice...by side of the story is not being told : Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

Pahwa reads a judgement.

Pahwa : In my case, recoveries are made. Bank account etc I have given myself

Where in am unwell and offering myself for any assistance.. , in these times when SC and HPC have said that decongestion is going on, anticipatory bail must be granted. The court may put any condition: Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

Senior Adv Pahwa concludes.

PP Srivastava begins.

#NavneetKalra

Till date, Crime Branch has not shared any info with any media. Rather it is the accused side which has gone to media and tried to portray picture that Delhi police is trying to save Kalra : PP Srivastava

#NavneetKalra

Case is otherwise. It shows how influential he is: PP Srivastava

The caption is "Kalra ko kaun bacha raha hai".. the person is who has signed the petition: PP Srivastava

The person is a counsel and the petition is by the importer Matrix : Malhotra

You are using media to defame the police: PP Srivastava

#NavneetKalra

The complaint was given on email ID..there is no Police station with the same Chhatarpur. His Address is of some farmhouse in PS Fatehpur : PP Srivastava

No such complaint.. (unclear) : PP Srivastava

It seems there is connection issue at your end : Court

#NavneetKalra

It can be verified that on the SHO's WhatsApp : Malhotra

Srivastava says no complaint was received by PS Fatehpur.

He is an influential person. His anticipatory bail should not be granted: Srivastava

#NavneetKalra

Srivastava refers to High Court judgment in a 1984 riots case.

To my mind, we have never seen #COVID19. All are in difficult situation, police is investigating in difficult situation: Srivastava

In the 1984 riots judgement, it is said that extraordinary situation requires extraordinary measures.

This is some sort of inducement, if it is on an app, people will believe you : Srivastava

#NavneetKalra

Beggars can't be choosers.. the court may take judicial notice.. they have invented a new idea to take the flow.. system is there to help the really needy but not greedy person. They have tried to use the situation.. : Srivastava

#NavneetKalra

Prior to this FIR, so many things were flooded.. what they have done is that they have given brochures (showing premium portable oxygen concentrators).. price quoted is 27,999. The word used is premium: Srivastava

#NavneetKalra

If it is given made in China, my learned friend will not reply. That's why they say German.. this is pure Chinese item. They have induced public at large : Srivastava.

#NavneetKalra

It is your own thing that you have given. It is 28k. What is the price you have charged 70k: Srivastava.

#NavneetKalra

Government has invited you to quote your rate so that rates can be decided: Srivastava

They were given time of 10 days in June 2020. They have not cared to give anything. What they have quoted is the price of 28k..you are charging 70k: Srivastava

Where was this brochure exhibited : Court

On app Xfactor. It is admitted position: Srivastava

#NavneetKalra

Matrix is not importing it. It is Classic Metal and Spice Healthcare. From Matrix it came to Navneet Kalra. He has not filed any document to show how he came in contact... : Srivastava

#NavneetKalra

All accused entered into conspiracy to use this time for wrongful gain : Srivastava

#NavneetKalra

Srivastava either wrongful gain or wrongful loss has to be proved for cheating.

We received many screenshot.. how they have done. Mr Kalra asked Matrix to give 748 concentrators : Srivastava

The two companies.. there is no mention in the reply.. : Court

I just got the instructions. That's why we need custodial interrogation: Srivastava

Srivastava asks court to continue tomorrow as report from Sri Ram lab is awaited.

This is Navneet Kalra's chats : Srivastava reads complaints sent to Kalra regarding the concentrators.

Brochure nowhere says no refund, no warranty..it was a WhatsApp chat between Navneet Kalra and user : Srivastava

What they have provided is 5L is just 6.6 kg.. what type of thing it is, we are waiting. 9L is 7.2 kg : Srivastava

#NavneetKalra

Kindly disclose the source: Court

These are screenshots from public: Srivastava

#NavneetKalra

He has left the group. Many people have left the Khan Market Association group : Srivastava

#NavneetKalra

Srivastava refers to Medical Devices Rules.

Medical devices are also drugs : Srivastava as he reads a government notification

If you are importer, you come within the ambit of manufacturer. I can share the notification: Srivastava

Whole jagda is how to treat a person, how to enhance the oxygen when it is decreasing.. this is life saving and supporting thing. It is notified : Srivastava

#NavneetKalra

#OxygenConcentrator

This is not a toy. It is a life saving thing that too in such an unprecedented situation..what have you sold? It is charity towards you : Srivastava

#NavneetKalra

#OxygenConcentrator

You are a greedy person. When you are earning what you otherwise would not be earning is wrongful gain : Srivastava

#NavneetKalra

Just 4-5 have lapsed. Can we expect each and everything at this initial stage.. during #COVID19 : Srivastava

Srivastava says that he is even wearing a mask. His video is off.

If it is not inconvenient, please wear your mask : Srivastava

Give us time. We will be going to people.. in suo motu criminal writ Surpreme Court has condoned all limitation period : Srivastava

Once we receive Sri Ram report that it is misbranded, spurious.. we may add other sections aslo : Srivastava

Here you are dealing with persons fighting for Life.. you claim you are very well connected.. and first is lie that you gave complaint to Police Station: Srivastava

#NavneetKalra

Who stopped you from emailing to Commisioner...you are creating a defense: Srivastava

#NavneetKalra

Dayal Optical has a good name. All of a sudden you have started this.. when a person so well off does it.. this is bemani..: Srivastava

#NavneetKalra

We have to prove our case. That is why we need police remand : Srivastava

#NavneetKalra

I'm trying to justify who are the persons you contacted.. X Factor is of Matrix and not Navneet Kalra : Srivastava

Whether he transported out of Delhi also. He is a main accused. 100s of questions will come. This is stage where we can investigate. Arrest will serve many purposes: Srivastava

#NavneetKalra

Are you pleading exception to Arnesh Kumar? : Court

Srivastava reads section 41 CrPc.

Arnesh Kumar says that in all cases punishable upto 7 years, notice has to be given.. : Srivastava

He has shown justification.. we were granted PC and JC was not refused. Where is the question of Arnesh Kumar: Srivastava

#NavneetKalra

This type of white collor crime.. should not be given anticipatory or regular bail.. in this also, crores of rupees they have already made : Srivastava

#NavneetKalra

Believing it to be world-class I bought. What have you given me.. dabba? : Srivastava

This is a case of section 120B (conspiracy): Srivastava as the Court asks that is the relationship between Xfactor app and Kalra

There is no such rule that all persons involved in offences less that 7 years imprisonment should be given bail : Srivastava

Srivastava shares media note on black marketing by spice Jet.

How an i connected to Spice : Pahwa

Kalra can enlighten us how they are connected with others : Srivastava

#NavneetKalra

One of the aggrieved person has emailed us : Srivastava reads the communication

Let my friend show it : Pahwa

You will be entitled at the time of 207 CrPC. I will share with judge : Srivastava

#NavneetKalra

Court says case diary should be shared with it.

Srivastava reads the communication to police.

Srivastava says like Bata shoes, oxygen concentrators were being sold for amount ending in 999.

Now even Bata chappals are fraud and cheat : Pahwa (in lighter vein)

Judge says Bata filed defamation case against Jolly LLB 2 over "phata hua Bata ka joota" dialogue.

You are not paying invoice also. On the brochure through which they started inducement.. "premium", "German", "sufficient for two persons"..it is not sufficient for one also. From inception your intention was to cheat : Srivastava

#NavneetKalra

You have put persons to wrongful loss. We don't just have rights but duties also. Duty is done by Delhi Police. Had Delhi Police not acted, many more persons would have been cheated : Srivastava

#NavneetKalra
#DelhiPolice
@DelhiPolice

Till date he has not provided anything. He has gone away with his whole family: Srivastava

#NavneetKalra

Our own High Court stated that difference between a person who goes to Police with anticipatory bail in his pocket and .. (one without): Srivastava

#NavneetKalra

Srivastava reads the judgement.

The result is different: Srivastava

In case an opportunity is given, he is ready to join in two hours with his mobile phone and papers: Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

After taking instructions, I can assure that he would not be subjected to third degree : Srivastava

#NavneetKalra

It means he a person who is influential and is hiding somewhere: Srivastava

I'm sharing the lab report. It has come. It is very poor quality, not working: Srivastava

Have you got all tested ?: Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

This is consumer dispute now : Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

Working capacity is just 20%.. we need custodial investigation. The entire society is watching : Srivastava

#NavneetKalra

I would say this anticipatory bail be dismissed. Allow us to ensure.. to the society that we would be able to prove this case : Srivastava

#NavneetKalra

Even in essential commodities act, the word drug is used.. kindly have the EC Act : Srivastava

Srivastava takes the court through Essential Commodities Act.

Penal provision has two parts-- it's upto one year or it would be seven years.. : Srivastava

Our liability has been enhanced.. the method through which we can know something is custodial interrogation: Srivastava

#NavneetKalra

We will ask if there was any MoU, if info was given to Shop and Establishment authority..you had to maintain social distancing also : Srivastava

All cases are inter connected. We have to establish our case : Srivastava

He says Court should be liberal in giving opportunity to Investigating Agency to investigate.

#NavneetKalra

Fund management, man management, how did he manage all this .. : Srivastava

It is not a simple case ...it is hire ki chori.. very soon they (HPC) are going to make category for people who are using COVID situation to their benefit. This is a very serious case : Srivastava

HPC has senior judges of the High Court. What is your source: Pahwa

I've concluded : Srivastava

Pahwa makes rebuttal submissions.

There are two sides of every side. Nobody has come forward till now. 100s have been sold by now : Pahwa

Have they explained this complaint made on May 9. Have the statement been recorded? I can't go, pandemic is going on : Pahwa

We have developed a system. Police has developed s system..by the time you wait for situation to get better so that you can go to people's home, you'll keep me in jail? : Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

There is no response to any legal arguments: Pahwa

Their (Matrix) act can't be attributed to me. They have to stand on their own legs on the case against me : Pahwa

Union is buying from China..PPE, masks came from China. Today my friend is saying because it is coming from China.. : Pahwa

All plants are charging money from Delhi govt for oxygen... government is charging for vaccine. It is life saving vaccine. Why is govt charging in the ratio 250-1200. Mr Adar Poonawalla says even if he sells for 250, he makes profit.. why is crime branch sitting idle? : Pahwa

Conducting business in life saving drugs is not an offence in the eyes of law : Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

When I create an invoice, I inform the government of India. It is not black marketing : Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

There should be a closure to this case. Government has said it has not fixed any price in this case: Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

In June 2020, I wasn't even dealing in June. I'm not a manufacturer. I'm not sure if Matrix was doing it on June 2020 : Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

Suppose Matrix has 500 employees and business is not doing well...I will do something so that I can pay my employees.. it is good that alternate legitimate businesses are being created...under the import-export policy: Pahwa

#NavneetKaur

We a are sitting at home in ACs.. there are people on the road doing work.. this a team of 30-40 people.. there is no complaint till date. That means they are happy. I can very well sit at home : Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

Is this the way businessmen are treated in this country.. I'm open to any scrutiny..the court may protect me today. I will go to them with all papers.. I'm ready to give my phone : Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

These are transaction between two people where Delhi police is poking its nose and making out a case. I'm sure Delhi police has much better things to do now : Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

Court is informed that Matrix employees have been granted bail by another court.

Their whole case was that Matrix induced.. : Pahwa

Someone who can invest crores of rupees can do it.. someone with wherewithal can do it (import) : Pahwa

Am I the beneficiary or Matrix or the people who used the oxygen concentrators and have not made any complaint: Pahwa

Custodial interrogation is important in offences where there is no documentation : Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

We have to see the philosophy of anticipatory bail.. : Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

Let the government prohibit.. nobody will deal in it. Government has liberalised it : Pahwa

#OxygenConcentrator

If oxygen concentrator is not available, people die. If you find something fishy, please investigate but under protection. Why do they want to arrest me when they want to wait for things to become normal to investigate aggrieved persons: Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

Malhotra shares screenshot of Kalra's complaint WhatsApped to the SHO.

#NavneetKalra

An impression was created that no complaint was received because the police station doens't exist.. here is the chat.. with the SHO: Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

Srivastava says this is not the SHO's number.

We'll give the number to the court...let Mr Srivastava's statement be recorded : Pahwa

Pahwa says every SHO has two numbers.

They want to prejudice the minds of the court.. it shows how Delhi Police is being unfair to be. Maybe he (named in the complaint) is the person behind everything ... I'm ready to co-operate to any extent: Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

Section 41A is not that you will run after the person after case is registered : Pahwa

Pahwa says police has to evaluate and then take a call if arrest should be made.

All arguments are emotional and speculative...there is no evidence in hand : Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

It is a fit case for anticipatory bail... regular bail has been granted in the case. I should be protected.. I'm not running away. I'd like to join. Please protect me. : Pahwa

There is #COVID19, there is lockdown m violation is 188: Srivastava

Sale is not through just app.. but also personally through chats: Srivastava

We are at the stage of FIR. We have to see whether case can be investigated.. : Srivastava

Where educated persons are involved. Aggrieved would be near and dear ones: Srivastava

You are doing a business of life saving things.. persons are all known. He has left the Khan Market group. This shows influence: Srivastava

#NavneetKalra

Srivastava says interviews are being given.

Please be fair. It was the legal counsel of someone else : Malhotra

#NavneetKalra

You are trying to tait the police..many people would have died... here question is not of liberty but lives : Srivastava

We'll place it for orders tomorrow : Court

Hitesh, his employee, is yet to get bail : Srivastava

Order on Hitesh is tomorrow : Malhotra

#NavneetKalra

The invoices, price at which purchased and sold.. I've prepared a chart : Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

Imports were not made by me. Imports were made by Matrix and Spicejet. They have not touched Spicejet: Malhotra

#NavneetKalra

These are different models, different prices : Pahwa

Rs 69,999 is the sale rate of all: Srivastava

They were showing purchase price : Court

#NavneetKalra

Malhotra shares invoices raised by Kalra to consumers.

We conclude here. Share the copy of the trail court order : Court

#NavneetKalra

That is a regular bail, order passed by inferior court. Criteria is different: Srivastava

I want to go through the reasons : Court

We've had the opportunity to interrogate : Srivastava

This is a favourable change in circumstances: Pahwa

#NavneetKalra

I now have a better case for anticipatory bail : Pahwa

Court still has the power to cancel the bail : Srivastava

#NavneetKalra

Higher court should also know what has weighed with the lower court. Matter is adjourned till tomorrow for pronouncement at 10 am : Court

#NavneetKalra

It a co accused (Hitesh). He (Navneet Kalra) is main accused : Srivastava

Order tomorrow at 10 am: Court
