On Tuesday the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrested Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal from Tihar jail in connection with the now-scrapped liquor policy.
This comes a day before the Supreme Court is scheduled to hear Arvind Kejriwal’s bail plea in the money laundering case.
On Monday, the central probe agency examined Arvind Kejriwal in Tihar jail and recorded his statement related to the excise policy case.
The CBI will produce Arvind Kejriwal in trial court tomorrow. Earlier today, the Delhi High Court put a stay on the trial court’s order granting bail to AAP’s national convenor, Arvind Kejriwal, in the money laundering case.
On Monday, the Supreme Court postponed the hearing on Kejriwal’s appeal against the Delhi High Court’s interim stay on his bail. The vacation bench of Justices Manoj Misra and SVN Bhatti noted that the High Court’s decision to grant an interim stay without a final order was unusual. They remarked that in such matters, decisions are typically made immediately. The Supreme Court scheduled the next hearing for June 26.
On June 21, the Delhi High Court issued an interim stay on the bail granted to Kejriwal by the trial court. The High Court reserved its final decision and instructed both parties to submit their written arguments by Monday. Kejriwal then appealed to the Supreme Court against this interim stay.
