New Delhi: On Wednesday, the Rouse Avenue Court saw the formal arrest of Delhi's Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal, in connection to the alleged liquor policy scam. This came after the CBI was granted permission to produce Kejriwal in court, following their questioning of him in Tihar Jail.
In a related development, Kejriwal withdrew his plea filed before the Supreme Court, which was challenging the interim stay ordered by the Delhi High Court on his release on bail in a money laundering case linked to the same scam. His lawyer, senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, informed the Vacation Bench of Justices Manoj Misra and SVN Bhatti that a fresh plea would be filed in the apex court, considering the latest decision of the Delhi High Court to stay the trial court's order granting bail to Kejriwal in the money laundering case.
The Delhi High Court, in its final verdict on a plea filed by the Enforcement Directorate, stated on Tuesday that the trial court's Vacation Bench did not thoroughly consider all the evidence and that it should have given the ED an opportunity to argue the bail application. This decision was made after the ED had filed a plea challenging the trial court's decision to grant bail to Kejriwal in the money laundering case.
This news has caused quite a stir, with many speculating on the outcome of the case and the possible consequences for Kejriwal and his party, AAP. The alleged liquor policy scam and the money laundering case have been ongoing for some time now, and this recent development has only added to the complexity of the situation. It remains to be seen how this will all unfold in the coming days, but one thing is for sure, all eyes will be on the court and the fate of Delhi's Chief Minister.
