Supreme Court’s “Caged Parrot” Remark To CBI On Arvind Kejriwal’s Bail
The Supreme Court has granted bail to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who has been jailed for the last six months in the alleged liquor policy scam. Two months ago, the chief minister was granted bail for a few days ahead of the Lok Sabha Elections.
The Aam Aadmi Party leader can now leave jail – after nearly six months in prison without a trial – after having secured bail in a case filed by the Enforcement Directorate.
Last week, in the final hearing before the court withdrew to decide, Abhishek Singhvi, appearing for Mr Kejriwal, pointed out his client had already satisfied the ‘triple test’ legal principle for bail, since the same court had given him bail in the ED case. The CBI, on the other hand, has repeatedly pointed to what it believes is a mountain of evidence against Mr Kejriwal, most of which is drawn from testimony of ‘approvers’, i.e., former accused who have been pardoned, or will receive lesser sentences, for testifying against him.
Here are the LIVE updates in Arvind Kejriwal’s bail petition:
“Congratulations to AAP family! Kudos for staying strong. Wishing also the soonest release of our other leader,” Sunita Kejriwal said.

Arrest Not Illegal, Bail Is Issue Of Liberty: Supreme Court
“Petitioner’s arrest does not suffer from illegality. The issue is of liberty which is integral to sensitized judicial process. Prolonged incarceration amounts to unjust deprivation of liberty,” Justice Kant said.
BREAKING: Arvind Kejriwal Gets Bails
Supreme Court grants bail to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in Delhi liquor policy case.
Justice Kant: Based on arguments, we have framed three questions.
1. Was Arvind Kejriwal’s arrest was illegal?
2. Should he be allowed regular bail?
3. Was filing of chargesheet of such nature that he has to only go to trial court?
A bench of Justices Suryakant and Ujjal Bhuiyan bench is delivering the decision. Both judges will read out their respective decisions.
