SC grants bail to Arvind Kejriwal

The Supreme Court has granted bail to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in Delhi's excise policy case. The apex court said “Arvind Kejriwal satisfies the triple condition for the grant of bail and we order accordingly.”

On his arrest, the court said that appellant arrest does not suffer from any procedural flaw, thus arrest is valid as he has also challenged his arrest by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in Delhi's excise policy case.

Earlier, the Delhi High Court had refused Kejriwal’s pleas in the matter and asked him to approach the trial court for bail. The High Court’s refusal of bail led to Kejriwal’s appeals before the SC.
