Amidst the Lok Sabha elections 2024, Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party national convenor Arvind Kejriwal has got a big relief from the Supreme Court. Arvind Kejriwal, who is in jail in the Delhi liquor scam case, has got interim bail from the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court has granted interim bail to Kejriwal till June 1. Along with this, the court has given another big instruction. Let us know what the court has said.
Will have to surrender on June 2 – Court
Arvind Kejriwal’s lawyer Abhishek Manu Singhvi had sought bail from the court till June 5. However, the court said – “We should not draw any common line. Kejriwal was arrested in March and the arrest could have happened earlier or later also. Now 21 days here and there will not make any difference. On June 2, Arvind Kejriwal will surrender.”
Ignoring ED’s arguments
Last Thursday, the Enforcement Directorate i.e. ED had filed an affidavit in the Supreme Court opposing the bail application of Kejriwal. ED had said in the affidavit that election campaigning is not a fundamental right. On the other hand, Kejriwal’s legal team had raised strong objection to the ED affidavit. However, ignoring all the arguments of ED, the court has granted interim bail to Kejriwal.
Now what will be the further process?
After Arvind Kejriwal gets interim bail, now the Supreme Court order will be sent to the trial court. Then the release order from the trial court will be sent to Tihar Jail administration. The important thing is that when the order from the trial court goes to Tihar, it takes two hours for the process after the release letter reaches there. If the release order from the trial court reaches Tihar on time today, then Kejriwal will be released after the two-hour process. All the release orders that come daily in Tihar Jail are disposed of in about 2 hours.
