Supreme Court verdict on Arvind Kejriwal's bail plea in Delhi liquor ‘scam’ tomorrow
Hindustan TimesThe Supreme Court will deliver on Friday its judgment on the petitions filed by Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal against his arrest by the Central Bureau Investigation in the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy case. The Aam Aadmi Party convener challenged the August 5 decision of the Delhi high court, which upheld his arrest by the Central Bureau of Investigation and refused to entertain his plea for bail because Arvind Kejriwal did not go to the trial court first. Arvind Kejriwal has been in custody since March 21 following his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate in the same case, apart from a 21-day interim bail in May granted by the Supreme Court for Lok Sabha elections campaigning. On July 12, the Supreme Court granted interim bail to Arvind Kejriwal in the ED case, acknowledging that he had spent over 90 days in incarceration.
