Interim Bail Granted to Kejriwal for Election Campaigning Till June 1

The Supreme Court’s decision to grant interim bail to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal until June 1 allows him to actively participate in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections. This development comes amidst a legal battle stemming from his arrest in connection with a money laundering case related to an alleged excise policy scam.

Conditions Set for Kejriwal’s Bail

Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta, presiding over the bench, have directed Kejriwal to surrender and return to jail by June 2. Despite efforts by senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi to extend the bail until June 5, the bench remained steadfast in its decision, declining the request. This strict adherence to the judicial timeline underscores the court’s commitment to due process.

Legal Battle Continues

Kejriwal’s plea challenging the Delhi High Court’s verdict, which upheld his arrest in the case, is currently under the Supreme Court’s review. The core issue revolves around allegations of corruption and money laundering pertaining to the formulation and execution of the Delhi government’s now-defunct excise policy for the fiscal year 2021-22.

With the apex court’s involvement, the legal proceedings surrounding Kejriwal’s case have garnered heightened attention. Beyond the immediate implications for Kejriwal’s political future, the outcome holds broader significance for the political landscape of Delhi and beyond. As the legal saga unfolds, the nation awaits the resolution of this high-profile case with anticipation.
