CM Arvind Kejriwal of Delhi has not been granted instant relief by the Supreme Court. In the Delhi Excise Policy case, Kejriwal had petitioned the Supreme Court to overturn an order from the Delhi High Court that had suspended the bail that the lower court had given him.
The Supreme Court postponed the next hearing till June 26 and told us to await the Delhi High Court’s ruling.
Before the ED case about the purported excise scam, attorney Abhishek Singhvi, who represented Kejriwal before the Supreme Court, had earlier asked to withdraw the stay placed on the bail decision by the High Court. The Supreme Court informed Abhishek Singhvi that it would be detrimental to the case if it made any decisions regarding CM Kejriwal’s appeal challenging the High Court’s stay order.
