Kejriwal will not be launched from Tihar. Here’s why

In a substantial relief to Arvind Kejriwal and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader, the Supreme Court today approved interim bail to Delhi Chief Minister in a cash laundering case connected to an import tax policy rip-off. He will not be launched from Tihar Jail, as his bail in a different CBI case is still pending. A bench consisting of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta has actually referred Kejriwal’s petition, challenging his ED arrest, to a bigger bench. The judges highlighted that the wider legal concepts concerning the requirement and proportionality of arrests in ED cases, where private investigators have significant discretion, must be chosen by a bigger panel. Why Arvind Kejriwal Still Has to Stay in Jail The Delhi Chief Minister will stay in prison as the CBI has actually jailed him in another case associated to the import tax fraud. The next hearing in the CBI case is arranged for July 17. Reports recommend that after protecting bail in the ED case, it may be simpler for him to get bail in the CBI case. Arvind Kejriwal Also Got Interim Bail in May On May 10, the Supreme Court gave Kejriwal interim bail up until June 1 in the cash laundering case however restricted him from going to the Chief Minister’s Office or the Delhi Secretariat. Kejriwal abided by the court’s regulation to give up on June 2. Appeal Against High Court’s Decision Kejriwal’s plea is an appeal versus the Delhi High Court’s judgment, which declined his obstacle to his arrest and remand by the ED in the import tax policy case.
