The Delhi High Court said it would hear on July 5 Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s plea seeking bail in the corruption case registered by the CBI in connection with the alleged Excise policy scam.
The Delhi High Court on July 3 said it would hear on July 5 Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s plea seeking bail in the corruption case registered by the CBI in connection with the alleged Excise policy scam.
The counsel for Mr. Kejriwal mentioned the matter for urgent listing before a bench of Acting Chief Justice Manmohan and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela, which said it would be heard on July 5.
Advocate Rajat Bhardwaj, appearing for Mr. Kejriwal, asserted that the applicant was taken into illegal custody without following the due procedure of law and he has filed a bail plea.
As the counsel insisted on fixing the plea for hearing on July 4, Justice Manmohan said, “Let the learned judge go through the papers. We will have it day after.”
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener was arrested by the CBI on June 26 from Tihar Jail, where he is still lodged in judicial custody in a connected money laundering case filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
Meanwhile, sources said Mr. Kejriwal has also challenged a trial court’s July 1 order rejecting his application for directions to the prison authorities for allowing two additional meetings every week with his lawyers through video conference. He is currently allowed two meetings with his lawyers in a week.
He has already challenged his arrest in the CBI case and the plea is pending before the High Court. The court had issued notice and asked the CBI to file its reply while listing it for arguments on July 17.
