Delhi Excise Policy Case: Decision on Kejriwal's interim bail on Friday; Supreme Court said this
Delhi Excise Policy Case: Justice Khanna was sitting on a separate bench along with Justice MM Sundaresh and Justice Bela M Trivedi on Wednesday. He informed about the date of judgment when asked by Additional Solicitor General SV Raju about the listing of Kejriwal's petition.
In a money laundering case involving the purported excise policy scam, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will hear arguments for and against interim bail from the Supreme Court on May 10. The bench led by Justice Sanjiv Khanna, who oversaw Kejriwal's appeal against his arrest in the case, stated that the interim order would be issued on Friday. The primary case concerning the arrest challenge will also be heard on the same day. After being taken into custody on March 21, the leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is presently being held in judicial custody at Tihar jail.
Justice Khanna was sitting on a separate bench along with Justice MM Sundaresh and Justice Bela M Trivedi on Wednesday. He made this comment when asked by Additional Solicitor General SV Raju about the matter of listing Kejriwal's petition. Raju had appeared before the said three-member division bench on behalf of the Center in a case related to Goods and Services Tax. He had sought clarification regarding the listing of Kejriwal's petition.
Earlier, the division bench of Justice Khanna and Justice Dipankar Dutta had reserved its decision regarding Kejriwal's interim bail on May 7. This bench of two judges had risen without passing any order on granting interim bail to Kejriwal to campaign in the Lok Sabha elections. The bench had reserved its decision after hearing the arguments of senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi and Additional Solicitor General SV Raju, appearing for Kejriwal and the Enforcement Directorate.
