The Supreme Court on Friday will be announcing their verdict on Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal`s bail plea after he was arrested on charges of money laundering connected to the Delhi Excise Policy case. Kejriwal`s arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has prompted a judicial struggle over suspected irregularities in the excise policy for 2021-22. Justice Sanjiv Khanna will lead discussions before the court`s decision on Friday, reported ANI.
According to the ANI report, Justice Sanjiv Khanna presided over a Supreme Court bench that heard arguments on Kejriwal`s request for provisional bail. The debate focused on whether Kejriwal should be given temporary permission to engage in political campaigning, posing issues with the proportionality of legal rights and political obligations. Even though the bench tended to issue bail so that Kejriwal might use it for campaigning, it also advised against his using his official duties as Chief Minister if released on bail.
