New Delhi: The Supreme Court today said that if it grants Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal interim bail in the Excise Police case, he cannot perform official duties.
There was no immediate relief for Kejriwal as the top court reserved its order on his bail plea.
“We will give you a date for the day after tomorrow. If it’s not possible, we will keep it sometime next week. Next week is going to be very difficult,” the bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta made the remarks while hearing the plea.
The Delhi Court extended the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo’s judicial custody till May 20 in connection to a money laundering case linked to the liquor policy case.
The petition was filed challenging the April 10 judgement of the Delhi High Court which dismissed his plea challenging the ED arrest. CM Kejriwal was arrested on March 21 and has been under custody since then.
