Supreme Court Questions High Court’s Unusual Bail Stay on Arvind Kejriwal

The Supreme Court has termed the Delhi High Court’s decision to reserve its order while granting an interim stay on Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal's bail 'unusual'. The apex court will hear Kejriwal's plea on June 26. Kejriwal's counsel argued that the bail stay process was unprecedented and sought relief.

The Supreme Court on Monday termed the Delhi High Court's decision to reserve its order while granting an interim stay on the operation of a trial court's bail order to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal as 'unusual'.

A vacation bench of Justices Manoj Misra and SVN Bhatti has scheduled June 26 for hearing Kejriwal's plea against the interim stay. The bench emphasized that normally, stay applications are decided on the spot, not reserved.

Senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi argued that the procedure adopted by the High Court was unprecedented and asserted that Kejriwal is not a flight risk. The Supreme Court suggested waiting for the High Court's decision before making any ruling on the matter.
