Supreme Court granted bail to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday, September 13.
Supreme Court has granted this bail in CBI's FIR related to Delhi government's excise policy.
The court said in its order that Kejriwal will have to furnish a bond of Rs 10 lakh.
This case was heard by a bench of Justice Suryakant and Ujjwal Bhuyan and the decision was reserved on September 5.
Justice Ujjwal Bhuyan, while granting bail, said that CBI should break the image of a caged parrot and show him that he is not a caged parrot.
Justice Bhuyan also questioned the timing of Kejriwal's arrest. He said that when he got bail in the ED case, CBI arrested him again.
Kejriwal had filed two petitions in the Supreme Court. One of these petitions was against not being granted bail. The second petition was filed against the CBI arrest in this case.
In March 2024, Kejriwal was arrested by the ED team.
On July 12, Kejriwal got bail from the Supreme Court in the ED case.
But as soon as he got bail, the CBI arrested Kejriwal in the month of June. ThereforeKejriwal could not come out of jail then.
I pray that other leaders of the party are also released soon: Sunita
Arvind Kejriwal's wife Sunita Kejriwal said on getting bail, "Congratulations to the Aam Aadmi Party family. I pray that other leaders of the party are also released soon."
On Kejriwal getting bail, Delhi government minister Atishi said - Satyamev Jayate. Truth can be troubled, not defeated.
Aam Aadmi Party leader Manish Sisodia said- ''Today, truth has won again in the fight against lies and conspiracies. Once again, I bow down to the thinking and foresight of Baba Saheb Ambedkar ji, who had strengthened the common man against any future dictator 75 years ago.''
Recently, former Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi Manish Sisodia also got bail in this case. Sisodia was able to come out of jail after 17 months.
Earlier, Sanjay Singh had come out on bail.
Aam Aadmi Party has been alleging that BJP is trapping opposition leaders in false allegations using central agencies. BJP has been rejecting such allegations and saying that everyone is equal in the eyes of the law.
Kejriwal should resign: Virendra Sachdeva
Delhi BJP leader Virendra Sachdeva said, "Kejriwal may have got bail but he no longer has any right to remain on the post of Chief Minister. When he cannot do the work of a Chief Minister, why should he be the Chief Minister? If he is truthful, why this condition- Kejriwal should resign.''
