The enforcement directed. It stated that it has not been granted the ample amount of opportunity to actually, you know, challenge to oppose the bail application, which is a mandatory condition under Section 45 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002.

Ananya, you know, a Delhi court, in fact, for example, ordered his release on a personal bond of ₹1,00,000 but impose certain conditions before granting him relief, including that he would not try to tamper the investigation or influence the witness. And like you're saying, you know, after which the Delhi High Court, of course, came out to pause the bail order is why perhaps Arvind Kejriwal has decided to move the Supreme Court.

But now Arvind Kejriwal too is using all his legal opportunities and legal remedies in order to secure this particular relief that was already granted to him by the trial court. But whether or not the Supreme, because, you know, this is the order that has been passed in the interregnum, the court has yet to rule on the state application of the enforcement direct rate. So whether or not on this stage, on this intricate stage, will the Supreme Court intervene into this order is something that is a tricky situation. And whether or not that would be by the vacation bench of the Supreme Court is something that only time can tell us. And, you know, we'll have to wait for what actually the Supreme Court has to observe because this is a very, very intricate situation. And whether or not the Supreme Court actually allows for it is something that we have to wait and watch for.
