Delhi High Court Stalls Arvind Kejriwal's Bail in Excise Scam Money Laundering Case

The Delhi High Court suspended the trial court's decision to grant bail to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in a money laundering case linked to the alleged excise scam. The court critiqued the trial court for overlooking evidence and lacking proper deliberation.

The Delhi High Court on Tuesday intervened to stay the trial court's order that had granted bail to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the money laundering case related to the alleged excise scam.

Justice Sudhir Kumar Jain, presiding over a vacation bench, expressed that the trial court had not sufficiently considered the materials presented by the Enforcement Directorate and failed to provide the agency with appropriate opportunity to argue its stance.

The bench temporarily suspended the trial court's decision, which originally granted bail to Kejriwal on June 20 in exchange for a personal bond of Rs 1 lakh. The Enforcement Directorate challenged this decision, labeling it as 'perverse,' 'one-sided,' and based on irrelevant findings.
