New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has approached the Supreme Court challenging the order passed by the Delhi High Court on June 21 staying the trial court’s order which granted him bail in the liquor policy case.
The Supreme Court on Monday deferred hearing on Arvind Kejriwal’s plea against Delhi High Court’s interim stay on his bail granted by a trial court. The matter will now be heard on June 26.
The Enforcement Directorate has challenged the trial court’s order granting bail to Kejriwal, in the Delhi High Court.
Ealier last week, the Delhi High Court stayed implementing the lower court’s order until it pronounces its verdict.
Senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, representing Arvind Kejriwal, argued why can’t the Delhi chief minister stay free till the high court decides on the Enforcement Directorate’s plea. He said the CM has a bail order in his favor and he is not a flight risk.
ASG SV Raju, representing the Enforcement Directorate, told the Supreme Court that the high court order will come in a day or two.
A vacation bench comprising Justices Manoj Misra and SVN Bhatti will hear the matter today.
