Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal is not getting any relief from the Supreme Court in the CBI case related to Delhi liquor policy. The Supreme Court has postponed the hearing on CM Kejriwal’s bail plea till September 5.
During the hearing on August 14, the court had sought a reply from the investigating agency. CBI told the court that it has filed a reply in one case while it needs more time to respond in the other case. On the appeal of the investigating agency, the apex court has given one week’s time to file the response and the court will hear the matter on September 5.
ED and CBI cases are going on against Kejriwal and he has already got bail in the ED case. At the same time, he is in jail in the CBI case. CBI has alleged in the affidavit that Kejriwal is trying to make the case politically sensational while in the orders of various courts, being satisfied with his prima facie involvement in the crime, cognizance has already been taken on it.
The CBI has said that the Delhi High Court, while rejecting Kejriwal’s writ petition, had said in its order that it cannot be said that the arrest of the petitioner was without any proper reason or illegal.
‘The High Court had said in its order that the Special Judge had followed the proper procedure in ordering Kejriwal’s arrest and remand’, said CBI. The CBI has said that as far as release on medical bail is concerned, it should be given only when treatment in jail is not possible.
