It’s a no to Kejriwal again in the highest court. The bail plea was rejected .Supreme Court today refused interim bail to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in a corruption case linked to the national capital’s now scrapped liquor policy. The court sought the CBI’s reply on the
Aam Aadmi Party leader’s bail plea and posted the matter for August 23.
Arguing for Kejriwal, Senior Advocate Abhishek Singhvi told the bench of Justice Surya Kant and Justice Ujjal Bhuyan that it is a “strange situation”. He said Mr Kejriwal was granted interim bail in a Prevention of Money Laundering Case (PMLA) on May 10.
“He then got interim bail from Supreme Court in July. He was granted bail in a CBI case by the lower court. In this way, three bail orders were given,” Mr Singhvi said, terming the AAP leader’s imprisonment “insurance arrest”.
Manish Sisodia who was also in jail for more than 500 days was granted bail recently as the Government could not prove anything against him so far. Kavitha the former CMs daughter is also in the jail for a long time and she is also pleading for bail.
There is confidence in the BRS caders that she will get the bail and the BJP wants her to become the approver against Kejriwal.
