दिल्ली के मुख्यमंत्री अरविंद केजरीवाल के जमानत पर कोर्ट का फैसला।

Court's decision on bail of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has got bail in the alleged liquor scam. However, the court also said that Kejriwal's arrest is not wrong. The bench of Justice Suryakant and Justice Ujjwal Bhuinya gave this decision. After hearing both the parties, the Supreme Court had reserved the decision on September 5. Kejriwal had filed two separate petitions challenging his arrest and denial of bail in the corruption case registered by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

The CBI arrested the Aam Aadmi Party's national convenor on June 26, when he was in ED custody. Later he got interim bail from the Supreme Court in the ED case. But due to the arrest in the CBI case, he could not get out of jail. Earlier, the Delhi High Court had justified Kejriwal's arrest in the CBI case. The High Court had said that after Kejriwal's arrest by the CBI, there is now sufficient evidence against him and looking at the relevant evidence, it cannot be said that the arrest was without reason or illegal. The High Court had asked him to go to the trial court for bail. Kejriwal moved the Supreme Court against this decision of August 5.

Before this decision of Kejriwal in the Supreme Court, accused like former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh, BRS leader K Kavitha, AAP's communication in-charge Vijay Nair have got bail in the alleged liquor scam case. There are allegations of corruption in the new liquor policy made in the financial year 2021-22. Later the Delhi government canceled it. ED and CBI allege that bribes were taken from them in return by wrongly benefiting the liquor businessmen. The investigating agencies have described him as the mastermind of the scam. However, the Aam Aadmi Party and the Delhi government have rejected the allegations.
