Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has been granted bail in the liquor policy scam case. After reserving its judgement earlier on Thursday, the Rouse Avenue court granted bail to the AAP supremo.
A vacation bench comprising Judge Nyay Bindu passed the order and granted bail to Kejriwal, who has been lodged in Tihar Jail.
As per reports, the Delhi CM will be able to leave Tihar Jail on Friday after he pays a bail bond of Rs 1 lakh.
Kejriwal was arrested on March 21 for his alleged involvement in the liquor scam case. Since then, the AAP Supremo had been lodged in Tihar Jail. In May, the Supreme Court granted Kejriwal interim bail to campaign for the Lok Sabha Elections till June 1.
He surrendered to the authorities on June 2 and returned to Tihar jail.
As per reports, the Enforcement Directorate has asked the court to set 48 hours as the time limit for the bail bond of Rs 1 Lakh and so that this verdict can be challenged by a higher court. However, the Delhi court refused to stay the order.
As per a report by Bar and Bench, the Delhi court has ordered the Delhi Chief Minister to produce the bail bond before the duty judge on Friday - June 21.
Earlier today, the court has reserved its judgement in the case after hearing Kejriwal and ED for over two days. Along with Kejriwal's bail, the court had also reserved on the permit for Sunita Kejriwal to attend the medical board examination via video conferencing.
