The Supreme Court is set to hear Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's plea on August 14, challenging the Delhi High Court's decision that upheld his arrest by the CBI in a corruption case linked to the alleged excise policy scam. The court will also address a separate plea from Kejriwal seeking bail in the same case.
A bench consisting of Justices Surya Kant and Ujjal Bhuyan will consider both of Kejriwal's pleas. On
Monday, the Supreme Court agreed to hear the matter after senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi, representing Kejriwal, requested an urgent listing.
On July 12, the Supreme Court had granted interim bail to Kejriwal in the Enforcement Directorate (ED case), but he remains in Tihar Jail. Kejriwal is in judicial custody as part of an investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the alleged corruption case.
