Supreme Court To Hear Kejriwal's Plea Against HC's Order On Bail Today

On Monday, the Supreme Court fixed June 26 to hear Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s plea against the High Court order, putting an interim stay on his bail in the money laundering case linked to the alleged excise scam.

A vacation bench of Justices SVN Bhatti and Manoj Misra stated that it would like to wait for the pronouncement of high court's order regarding the matter.

Kejriwal's senior Advocate Abhishek Singhvi, sought vacating of the interim stay on the bail order.

However, ASG SV Raju, appearing for the ED, opposed Kejriwal's plea, saying that the high court is about to pronounce the verdict on its stay application.

Aam Aadmi Party national convener, Arvind Kejriwal, was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on March 21. Had the high court not granted the interim stay relief, the Delhi CM could have walked out of Tihar on Friday.

On Tuesday night, CBI arrested Arvind Kejriwal from Tihar and is set to produce him before the trial court on Wednesday, 26 June.

CBI also questioned Kejriwal and recorded his statement in connection with the excise policy case in the jail on Tuesday.
