Delhi Excise Policy case: Supreme Court To Deliver Verdict Tomorrow On Arvind Kejriwal’s Bail Plea

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court will deliver on September 13 its verdict on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s petitions seeking bail and challenging the upholding of his arrest in the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) case in connection with the alleged Delhi excise policy scam.

A bench of Justices Surya Kant and Ujjal Bhuyan had reserved its judgment on the matter on September 5.

Opposing the plea, the CBI had told the Supreme Court that witnesses from Goa, including those who contested the Assembly elections on an Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) ticket, would turn hostile if Kejriwal walked out of jail.

Kejriwal has filed two separate petitions challenging the denial of bail and against his arrest by the CBI in the case. He has challenged the August 5 order of the Delhi High Court upholding his arrest.

The central probe agency said that there is also a Punjab angle to the matter and that the ruling AAP government in the state is not granting permission to probe it and said that Kejriwal “is influencing the non-granting of permission”.
