The Supreme Court on Friday granted Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal interim bail till June 1. After hearing both parties earlier, a bench consisting of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta issued the order.

In light of the current Lok Sabha election, the interim release was granted, however, the Enforcement Directorate objected, claiming that running for office was not a fundamental right. An interim bail till June 1 means Kejriwal will be out of jail when Delhi votes on May 25. Kejriwal will have to surrender on June 2. He will be in jail on June 4, the counting and the result day.

By evening, the comprehensive order with the terms of the bail will be uploaded, a source close to the development said.

In connection with the now-scrapped excise policy, Kejriwal was detained on March 21 in relation to a money laundering investigation. With the interim bail, he would be released from Tihar jail for more than a month.

However, Kejriwal’s lawyer, Shadan Farasat, said they will be attempting to secure Kejriwal’s release today, the paperwork take time, so Kejriwal might not actually leave Tihar today. Farasat said that the interim bail order does not limit his ability to campaign for the election.

The ED objected to the interim bail for electioneering, claiming that no previous cases existed where a politician had been given given interim bail to conduct campaigning. The Supreme Court reasoned that Kejriwal would not significantly benefit from being granted 21 days of interim bail.

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court bench made a suggestion that Kejriwal might be granted interim release so he could run for office. It stated that Kejriwal would not be permitted to carry out any official responsibilities as chief minister if interim bail were granted to him. Kejriwal’s counsel Abhishek Manu, first disagreed but eventually agreed later.

Pat Cummins celebrated his birthday by dancing to a Bollywood popular song as he eased down before SRH’s crucial IPl 2024 match against LSG on Wednesday, May 8, at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. In a video that went viral on social media, Cummins was seen dancing to the hit song Laal Peeli Akhiyan from Kriti Sanon and Shahid Kapoor starrer, Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya.

After Cummins removed KL Rahul from the match and brilliantly hit Krunal Pandya with a direct hit, Lucknow managed to reach 165 runs.
