The Supreme Court Bench, including Justice K V Viswanathan, announced that the operative part of its order regarding Kavitha’s bail will appear online by 2 p.m. today.
The Court clarified that its decision to grant bail to Kavitha includes no observations on the merits of the case. This means that the bail order will not influence or prejudice the trial’s outcome.
Earlier, the Supreme Court had set August 27 for hearing Kavitha’s bail pleas. This followed a request from Additional Solicitor General (ASG) S.V. Raju, who asked for a week to respond on behalf of the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
On August 12, the Supreme Court agreed to review Kavitha’s pleas. The court directed both the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the ED to submit their replies. At that time, the Court had refused to grant any interim relief without first hearing from the investigative agencies.
