The Delhi High Court paused his bail order in a corruption case related to the Delhi Liquor Policy until a hearing on the Enforcement Directorate’s petition.
The probe agency challenged Kejriwal’s bail just hours before he was to leave Tihar jail.
The ED mentioned its petition challenging the trial court’s bail order for an urgent hearing before a bench of Justices Sudhir Kumar Jain and Ravinder Dudeja.
The Delhi court ordered Kejriwal’s release on a personal bond of ₹ 1 lakh but imposed certain conditions before granting him the relief, including that he would not try to hamper the investigation or influence the witnesses.
The bail came after multiple rounds in trial courts where Arvind Kejriwal has been repeatedly denied bail. He hasn’t stepped down as Delhi Chief Minister despite calls from the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party for his resignation.
Earlier the Supreme Court issued interim bail to Mr Kejriwal for election campaigning. He returned to prison two days before the results were declared.
