To this, Kejriwal’s lawyer, Abhishek Manu Singhvi, said that there are many reasons for this, one of which is that Kejriwal’s arrest itself is illegal.
CM Kejriwal called the arrest illegal

It was done as part of politics before the general elections.

Kejriwal’s lawyer gave these arguments
A bench of Justice Sanjeev Khanna and Justice Dipankar Dutta heard the petition. During the hearing on Monday, Abhishek Manu Singhbi said that any person can be arrested only when there is evidence of a crime and not just on the basis of suspicion. The court raised questions about Kejriwal not turning up for interrogation despite repeated summons and said that in such a situation what option is available to the investigating officers? To this, Singhbi said that the failure to record the statement is not a basis for arrest. When ED can come to CM’s residence for arrest then why can’t they come to record statement?
