AAP to Challenge Delhi High Court's Bail Stay for Kejriwal in Supreme Court

AAP disagrees with the Delhi High Court's decision to stay the bail granted to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal by the trial court. The party plans to challenge the order in the Supreme Court, contending that the trial court's decision was based on irrelevant facts.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Tuesday announced its intention to challenge the Delhi High Court's decision to stay the bail granted to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. The AAP leader was granted bail by the trial court in connection with an alleged excise policy scam.

Earlier that day, a vacation bench of Justice Sudhir Kumar Jain of the Delhi High Court stayed the trial court order. The judge criticized the trial court for not adequately considering the material presented by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and failing to give the agency sufficient opportunity to argue its case.

Reacting to the development, the AAP stated, ''We disagree with the Delhi High Court order. We will challenge it in the Supreme Court.'' The party believes the trial court's decision was unjust and plans to seek relief from the apex court. The controversial excise policy, which was scrapped in 2022, has been under investigation for alleged irregularities and corruption.
