Delhi HC Stays Kejriwal’s Bail Order, says ‘Trial Court Didn’t Apply Its Brain’

Delhi High Court, on Tuesday, stayed the bail order of Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal in the Liquor policy case. On Monday, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) opposed his bail plea in the case, calling the trial court’s order “illegal and perverse.” In response, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) argued that discretionary bail orders cannot be overturned “merely on perceptions and fanciful imagination of the prosecution.”

The verdict was pronounced the Justice Sudhir Kumar Jain’s vacation bench remarking that the trial court (Rouse Avenue Court) judge did not adequately understand the documents and arguments presented. As a result, “the challenged order is stayed.”

Kejriwal on Sunday moved the Supreme Court against the Delhi High Court stay on his bail order in the liquor policy case. Kejriwal has been in detention since March 21, when he was arrested for defying ED summons in relation to the now-scrapped Delhi liquor policy case.
