Decision on Kejriwal’s bail today.
The Supreme Court will give its verdict on Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal’s bail plea in the CBI case on Friday. Apart from this, the Supreme Court will also give its verdict on the petitions challenging the arrest. The bench of Justice Suryakant and Justice Ujjal Bhuiyan can give its verdict after 10:30 am today. Let us tell you that Kejriwal has already got bail in the ED case and CM Kejriwal is in jail in the CBI case, on which the verdict will be given today.
The court had reserved the decision
The bench of Justice Suryakant and Justice Ujjal Bhuiyan will give its verdict on two petitions of Kejriwal. The first petition will be the bail petition filed in the CBI case and the second petition will be the one challenging the arrest. The last hearing in the case was held on 5 September, in which the bench of Justice Suryakant and Justice Ujjal Bhuiyan reserved its decision after hearing the arguments of all the parties. The court had indicated to give relief to Kejriwal. However, the court had also said that it will give its decision only after hearing both the parties.
Argument of Kejriwal’s lawyer
Kejriwal’s lawyer Abhishek Manu Singhvi had said that Kejriwal should get regular bail because his arrest was made deliberately. Earlier his name was not even there in the CBI’s FIR. Later his name was added in the FIR. Kejriwal is being prevented from participating in political activities. In such a situation, the arrest of Kejriwal by the CBI is not correct. He has been arrested on the basis of only one testimony. The non-arrest was changed into a case of arrest. No notice was given before the second arrest.
What did the CBI argue?
At the same time, CBI said that Kejriwal is the main accused in the liquor scam. There is evidence against him. Kejriwal is playing the game of snakes and ladders. The petition challenging the CBI’s arrest is not correct. No constitutional right has been violated. On the basis of investigation, the magistrate had approved the arrest. Kejriwal was arrested by ED on March 21, since then he is in jail. However, before the Lok Sabha elections, he was granted bail for three weeks for campaigning.
