Arvind Kejriwal Interim Bail: Supreme Court Likely To Pronounce Verdict Today

The Supreme Court is expected to pronounce its verdict on Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal’s interim bail today.

Earlier this week, a bench, headed by Justice Sanjiv Khanna, told the Enforcement Directorate’s counsel, Additional Solicitor General SV Raju, that it may pass the order on interim relief to the Aam Aadmi Party chief on Friday.

Here are 10 points on Arvind Kejriwal’s interim bail:

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court told Arvind Kejriwal’s lawyer that if it were to give interim bail to allow him to campaign for the Lok Sabha elections, he would not be allowed to work as the chief minister of Delhi.

Arvind Kejriwal’s lawyer told the court he would steer clear of files linked to the Delhi excise policy.

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, representing ED, opposed the court’s suggestion of the interim bail to Arvind Kejriwal. He questioned how a chief minister can be treated differently than a common man.
