It looks like after Manish and Kavitha, Kejriwal also poised to get the bail. The judgement has been reserved by the court. Finally the liquor case will be fizzled out in the end. According to the court there is no evidence to fix any one of them in the case.
Prolonged incarceration cannot be there…” Abhishek Manu Singhvi the advocate said, referring to statements by the top court in releasing Manish Sisodia, “Is ‘triple test’ satisfied? Yes… in the Manish Sisodia judgment, the court held that in this particular case of excise policy, trial is impossible to finish.”
Kejriwal has been in jail since late March. He received temporary reprieve in June, before Delhi voted in the general election, but had to return to Tihar Jail after the results were out.
Kavitha the TRS MLC and daughter of KCR also was granted bail as she was in the jail for the last 500 days. She is a lady and no money trail was also found against her.
The ED and CBI contend Arvind Kejriwal played a key role in forming of a new liquor excise policy for Delhi, which allowed him to sell wholesale licences and get kickbacks, around ₹ 100 crore of which, the authorities claim, came from a ‘South group’ led by the BRS’ K Kavitha.
This money, the agencies allege, was used to fund the AAP’s election expenses in Goa.
Kejriwal, the AAP Chief, and other accused have denied the charge,counter-accusing rivals Bharatiya Janata Party, to whose government at the centre the agencies answer, of mounting a campaign against opposition politicians and parties, particularly before elections.
