No immediate relief for Arvind Kejriwal

Arvind Kejriwal

Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal failed to get any relief from SC, with a two-judge bench rising without pronouncing an order on granting him interim bail to enable him to campaign. Kejriwal has been accused of money laundering.

A bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta, which reserved its order on grant of interim bail earlier during the day and said it will be pronounced at 2 p.m., rose without delivering its verdict. The bench reserved its decision after hearing the arguments put forth by senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi and Additional Solicitor General S V Raju, who appeared for Kejriwal and the ED, respectively.
