Delhi High Court Reserves Judgment On Arvind Kejriwal’s Bail Plea In Corruption Case

The Delhi High Court, on Monday, took a decisive step in the ongoing corruption case involving Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal by reserving its judgment on his bail plea.

The case, centered around the alleged liquor policy scam, has attracted significant legal and political attention.

The Bench, led by Justice Neena Bansal Krishna, concluded hearings after a detailed exchange between the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and Kejriwal’s legal representatives.

DP Singh, counsel for the CBI, and senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, who is representing Kejriwal, presented their arguments before the court.

Earlier in the day, the CBI submitted a comprehensive charge sheet in a special court, which includes charges against Kejriwal and several other individuals involved in the case.

This move follows the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) earlier filing of a prosecution complaint in the money laundering case, naming both the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and its national convenor, Arvind Kejriwal.

Additionally, the Delhi High Court has reserved its decision on Kejriwal’s plea contesting his arrest by the CBI and the subsequent remand.

The court is also considering a request for his release on interim bail.

On 12 July, the Supreme Court had ordered Kejriwal’s release on interim bail in relation to the ED case.

However, due to his concurrent arrest by the CBI, Kejriwal remains in custody.

Meanwhile, a Delhi court has extended Kejriwal’s judicial custody in the excise policy case until 8 August, adding to the mounting legal challenges facing the Chief Minister.
