The Delhi High Court ruled that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) must provide ‘reasons to believe’ for future arrests, based on the Supreme Court’s direction in the Kejriwal case, but not retroactively. It clarified that violations of FEMA do not exempt individuals from IPC charges, affirming the validity of ED arrests while quashing Delhi Police actions.

The Supreme Court, while hearing a plea regarding Mihir Rajesh Shah’s arrest in a hit-and-run case, addressed the legal requirement of providing grounds for arrest as specified in Article 22(1) of the Constitution. It declined to interfere with the Bombay High Court’s ruling but acknowledged the constitutional significance of the issue.
