Kejriwal's Bail Halted: Delhi HC Orders Interim Stay

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal remains in jail after the Delhi High Court issued an interim stay on a trial court's bail order in the money laundering case related to the alleged excise scam. The court is reserving its decision for review and has scheduled the next hearing for July 10.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's hope for freedom received a setback as the Delhi High Court issued an interim stay on a trial court's order granting him bail in the money laundering case linked to the alleged excise scam.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader, arrested on March 21 by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), remains in Tihar jail following the High Court's decision. The central anti-money laundering agency successfully sought an interim relief to keep Kejriwal behind bars.

Justice Sudhir Kumar Jain's vacation bench confirmed the stay, directing both parties to submit written arguments by June 24. The court is reviewing the case records and listed the plea for hearing on July 10, issuing a notice to Kejriwal for his response on ED's challenge to the trial court's June 20 order granting him bail.
