Big relief to Arvind Kejriwal, Supreme Court grants bail in CBI case

Supreme Court Arvind Kejriwal 17

The Supreme Court has given its verdict on the bail plea of ​​Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal in the CBI case on Friday. The court has given a big relief to Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal. The bench of Justice Suryakant and Ujjwal Bhuiyan has granted bail to Kejriwal. Let us tell you that Kejriwal has already got bail in the ED case. He was in jail in the CBI case, on which the verdict has come today. The Supreme Court has granted bail to Arvind Kejriwal on a bond of Rs 10 lakh and two bail amounts.

What did the judge say?

Supreme Court Justice Bhuiyan has said that Arvind Kejriwal was granted bail in the ED case and further detention in the CBI case is completely unacceptable. He said that bail is the rule and jail is the exception. The trial process or the steps of arrest should not become harassment. Justice Bhuiyan said that the CBI arrest is unfair and hence Kejriwal should be released immediately. However, Justice Suryakant has justified the CBI arrest of Kejriwal.

The court had reserved the decision

The bench of Justice Suryakant and Justice Ujjal Bhuiyan was to pronounce the verdict on two petitions of Kejriwal. The first was the bail petition filed in the CBI case and the second was the petition challenging the arrest. The last hearing in the case was held on 5 September, in which the bench of Justice Suryakant and Justice Ujjal Bhuiyan reserved its decision after hearing the arguments of all the parties. The court had indicated to give relief to Kejriwal. However, the court had also said that it would pronounce the verdict only after hearing both the parties.

Argument of Kejriwal’s lawyer

Kejriwal’s lawyer Abhishek Manu Singhvi had said that Kejriwal should get regular bail because his arrest was made deliberately. Earlier his name was not even there in the CBI’s FIR. Later his name was added to the FIR. Kejriwal is being prevented from participating in political activities. In such a situation, the arrest of Kejriwal by the CBI is not correct. He has been arrested based on only one testimony. The non-arrest was changed into a case of arrest. No notice was given before the second arrest.

What did the CBI argue?

At the same time, the CBI said that Kejriwal is the main accused in the liquor scam. There is evidence against him. Kejriwal is playing the game of snakes and ladders. The petition challenging the CBI’s arrest is not correct. No constitutional right has been violated. On the basis of the investigation, the magistrate had approved the arrest. Kejriwal was arrested by ED on March 21, and since then he has been in jail. However, before the Lok Sabha elections, he was granted bail for three weeks for campaigning.
