New Delhi, May 8: The Supreme Court is expected to announce its decision regarding interim bail for Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in a money laundering case associated with the purported excise policy scam on May 10.
Justice Sanjiv Khanna, leading the bench overseeing Kejriwal’s petition contesting his arrest in the case, stated, “We will pronounce the interim order (on interim bail) on Friday. The main matter related to the challenge to arrest will also be taken on the same day.”
When Additional Solicitor General SV Raju, who was representing the Center in a case involving the Goods and Services Tax, asked for clarification on the listing of Kejriwal’s appeal, Justice Khanna sitting in a different combination with Justices MM Sundresh and Bela M Trivedi made the statement.
On May 7, the bench, including Justice Dipankar Datta, after hearing arguments from both sides on interim bail for Kejriwal reserved its judgment.
Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested CM Arvind Kejriwal on March 21 and he is currently in judicial custody and is presently held in Tihar Jail.
