Hours before he was set to be released from Tihar Jail, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal suffered a major setback when the Delhi High Court paused his bail order in a corruption case related to the Delhi Liquor Policy. The move came after the Enforcement Directorate challenged Mr Kejriwal's bail in a new petition.
"Till the pronouncement of this order, the operation of the impugned order shall remain stayed," a vacation bench of Justice Sudhir Kumar Jain said.
The court said it was reserving the order for two to three days as it wanted to go through the entire records.
The ED mentioned its petition challenging the trial court's bail order for an urgent hearing before a bench of Justices Sudhir Kumar Jain and Ravinder Dudeja. The high court said till it heard the petition, the trial court order would not be acted upon.
The AAP chief had secured bail on a personal bond of Rs 1 lakh albeit with conditions on Thursday, in a relief after he was arrested on March 21. Earlier, the Supreme Court had issued interim bail to Mr Kejriwal to campaign for Lok Sabha elections and he returned to jail on June 2.
