NEW DELHI: Delhi High Court on Saturday stayed a trial court order allowing the presence of a lawyer during the interrogation of minister Satyendar Jain, who was arrested recently by the Enforcement Directorate in a money laundering case.
Justice Yogesh Khanna said that when there is credible material to indicate the real and live apprehension of a possible threat or coercion being employed at the time of recording of statement, such a direction may be passed, but since there is no apprehension raised in the present matter, the direction ought not to have been given as a matter of right.
