A bench of Justices Surya Kant and Ujjal Bhuyan heard the case and granted bail to the Chief Minister on a bail bond of Rs 10 lakh, and two sureties.
While granting bail, the Supreme Court directed Kejriwal not to make any public comment on the merits of the case and added that terms and conditions as imposed in the Enforcement Directorate (ED) case would also be applicable in this case. The court said that Kejriwal cannot visit his office or the Delhi Secretariat and not sign any official file unless necessary to obtain the Lieutenant Governor’s sanction.
Arvind Kejriwal’s wife Sunita Kejriwal congratulated the AAP family on the party’s national convenor’s bail and wished for the “sooner release of other leaders”. “Congratulations to the AAP family! Kudos for staying strong Wishing also the soonest release of our other leaders,” Sunita Kejriwal wrote in an X post.
Former Delhi Deputy CM & AAP leader Manish Sisodia called Arvind Kejriwal’s bail an “assurance that no matter who comes as a dictator, the Constitution of our country is there as a shield”.
“Nothing is above the Consitution in India. The Supreme Court’s decision is not just for Arvind Kejriwal but it is an assurance that no matter who comes as a dictator, the Constitution of our country is there as a shield… It has been proven today that the arrest by the CBI was to halt the bail in the ED case… Arvind Kejriwal has Lord Ram’s blessings and the shield of the Consitution… ‘Sacchai aur kattar Imandari hamesha josh mein rehti hai’…” he said.
