Kejriwal is already on interim bail in the alleged money laundering case registered by the Directorate of Enforcement.
Telling both the trial courts and the High Courts to recognize the principle that “bail is rule and jail is exception” the Supreme court on Friday granted bail to former Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi and Aam Aadmi Party leader, Manish Sisodia in the excise policy case.
The Delhi Chief Minister has got interim bail from the Supreme Court till June 1 in a money laundering case connected to the alleged excise policy scam.
A bench, comprising Justice Sanjiv Khanna and Justice Dipankar Datta, said this as the arguments by the Additional Solicitor General S.V. Raju appearing for the Directorate of Enforcement remained inconclusive and will continue on May 7, 2024.
Gehlot honoured the ED summons and appeared before the agency to record his statement.
The federal probe agency had asked for seven-day custody of the AAP chief, but the court said he has to be produced before it on April 1.
Kejriwal's wife had claimed that the Delhi chief minister would "expose" the alleged liquor policy scam in court on Thursday when his ED custody ends.
“He has diabetes and his sugar levels are not good. But his determination is strong. Arvind ji is a true patriotic, and a fearless and courageous person. Pray for his long life, health, and success," Sunita said in the video address.
Kejriwal said that the ED has violated his fundamental and human rights and argued that the probe agency has failed to establish guilt of the petitioner.
