Kejriwal moves SC against HC's bail stay order

Kejriwal Moves Top Court Against Delhi High Court's Bail Stay Order.


Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has approached the Supreme Court after the Delhi High Court placed an interim stay on his bail order in the liquor policy case. The high court had suspended the trial court's decision to grant Kejriwal bail and adjourned the matter until June 25.

 

Kejriwal's plea to the Supreme Court argues that the high court overlooked essential criteria for judging a bail cancellation application, making the interim stay unsustainable.

 

The plea emphasises that the high court's approach contradicts established legal principles of bail jurisprudence, which could lead to a miscarriage of justice.

 

Kejriwal's legal team is pushing for the Supreme Court to urgently hear the case, stressing that the high court's stay order violates fundamental legal standards. They argue that denying Kejriwal due process or fabricating charges against him because of his political status is unacceptable.

 

The plea also highlights that Kejriwal is severely impacted by the interim stay, which they believe unjustly undermines justice. The Supreme Court has repeatedly stated that any deprivation of liberty, even for a single day, is excessive.

 

Kejriwal was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on March 21, just before the Lok Sabha elections, in connection with the Delhi liquor policy case.

 

In May, the Supreme Court granted him interim bail, considering the general elections. However, he surrendered again on June 2, leading to the current legal battle over his bail status.

 

Kejriwal's plea to the Supreme Court underlines the urgency of addressing the interim stay on his bail order, arguing that the high court's decision should not stand, even for a moment longer.
