The Supreme Court has granted bail to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in connection with the alleged liquor policy case, criticizing his prolonged detention without trial as an 'unjust deprivation of liberty.' The court noted that Kejriwal had been in jail since March and expressed concerns over the Central Bureau of Investigation's (CBI) actions, particularly the timing of his arrest shortly after he was granted bail in a related case by the Enforcement Directorate (ED). While Justice Surya Kant upheld the CBI's procedural legitimacy in the arrest, Justice Ujjal Bhuyan raised serious questions about the CBI's motives, suggesting it acted only after Kejriwal was on the verge of being released. The court emphasized the need for the CBI to maintain public trust by acting transparently and avoiding perceptions of political bias. Kejriwal's legal team argued that the CBI's late intervention appeared to be a strategy to prevent him from securing bail. With bail now granted, Kejriwal is expected to be released after completing formalities.
