The Delhi High Court, on April 22, rejected a PIL requesting “extraordinary interim bail” for Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the liquor policy case and imposed a fine of Rs 75,000 on the petitioner.
The bench, led by the Acting Chief Justice of Delhi, emphasized that the court lacks the authority to grant exceptional interim bail in an ongoing criminal case involving a high-ranking official. Additionally, the court highlighted that an individual is currently in custody based on a judicial order, with the matter under scrutiny before the Supreme Court. The court emphasized the principle of equality before the law, asserting that it applies universally.
