Supreme Court Imposes 5 Conditions On Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal With Bail Order

New Delhi: Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal’s release on bail order by the Supreme Court on Friday, is a massive boost to the Aam Aadmi Party ahead of the state Assembly elections

A bench of Justices Surya Kant and Ujjal Bhuyan granted bail to Kejriwal saying prolonged incarceration amounts to unjust deprivation of liberty.

It also put in place some conditions for Kejriwal to follow, including those set in earlier when he got relief in the ED case:

These new conditions include:

  • The apex court granted bail to Kejriwal, subject to bail bonds of Rs10 lakh.
  • The Delhi CM cannot comment on the ongoing Delhi liquor policy case.
  • Kejriwal will have to be present for trial unless exempted by the courts
  • He cannot sign official files
  • Kejriwal can’t enter the Chief Minister’s office or the Delhi secretariat while out on bail

Justice Bhuyan, during the hearing, questioned the CBI for arresting Kejriwal, saying that such action by the CBI raises serious questions on the timing of the arrest and such an arrest by CBI only fractured the bail granted in the ED case.
