Example Sentence: Justice Bhuyan bluntly observed that the timing of his (Arvind Kejriwal’s) arrest was “suspect”. Noting that the CBI did not feel the need to arrest him for 22 months, he questioned the urgency to arrest him “when he was on the cusp of release in the ED (Enforcement Directorate) case”. Justice Bhuyan also recalled precedents that say the existence of the power to arrest did not necessarily mean that there was a need to arrest.
