The Supreme Court will consider today the grant of interim bail to Delhi Chief Minister #ArvindKejriwal in the Delhi liquor policy case.
A bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta will hear the matter (item no.50)
Kejriwal has been under custody since his arrest on March 21. ED filed a new affidavit yesterday opposing the grant of interim bail for Kejriwal for election campaigning. ED said that an election campaign cannot be a ground for bail as it is not a fundamental or legal right. ED also said that granting bail would create a wrong precedent.
