What are the conditions for Arvind Kejriwal’s release, know the whole thing


New Delhi : Delhi Chief Minister had a mixed day on Friday. While the Supreme Court granted him/her interim bail, a Delhi court extended his/her judicial custody till July 25. As a result, despite the relief from the apex court, Kejriwal will not be released from jail yet. The Supreme Court on Friday granted interim bail to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the money laundering case related to the alleged excise policy scam.

Release only on the basis of conditions of 10 May

Even after getting bail in the Enforcement Directorate (ED) case, Chief Minister Kejriwal will remain in jail. This is because the CBI had arrested him/her in a corruption case related to the alleged excise policy scam. A bench of Justices Sanjeev Khanna and Dipankar Dutta referred the questions related to the legality of his/her arrest in the ED case to a larger bench. The court said that Kejriwal will be released on interim bail as per the terms of the May 10 order.

Kejriwal should himself decide on leaving the CM post

The court made it clear that the interim bail can be extended or withdrawn by a larger bench. Certain legal questions arising in the case have been referred to the bench. Notably, the bench was unsure whether it can direct Kejriwal, the duly elected chief minister, to resign as Delhi chief minister. Hence, it left it to the AAP chief to decide on it.
