Delhi High Court stays Arvind Kejriwal's bail; hearing in SC today

In a setback for Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, the Delhi High Court on Tuesday stayed the trial court order granting him bail in the money laundering case arising from the alleged excise scam.

The High Court held that the lower court did not "appropriately appreciate" the material presented by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).

Reacting to the development, the AAP said they will approach the Supreme Court.

"We disagree with the Delhi High Court order. We will challenge it in the Supreme Court," ААР declared in a statement. During a press conference, Delhi Cabinet Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj mentioned that the party's legal team would decide on the next steps. He criticised the High Court for staying the lower court's order even before it was uploaded, claiming the bench was biassed. "I did not have any hope from the High Court. We will approach the higher court, and our legal team will strategize on the timing," Bharadwaj said.
