The Supreme Court on Monday granted bail Arto Chief Minister vind Kejriwal's aide Bibhav Kumar, accused of assaulting AAP Rajya Sabha member Swati Maliwal.
A bench of Justices Surya Kant and Ujjal Bhuyan took into note that Kumar is in custody for 100 days and chargesheet has already been filed in the case.
It also considered that there are more than 51 witnesses proposed by the prosecution for examination and the conclusion of the trial will take some time.
"Petitioner is in custody for 100 days. Chargesheet filed. Injuries are simple. It's a case for bail, you should not oppose. You can't keep a person in jail in such case," said the apex court to ASG SV Raju, representing Delhi police, who was opposing the grant of bail to Kumar.
