The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) announced on Monday that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will file an appeal with the Supreme Court challenging the Delhi High Court’s decision to dispose of his bail plea in a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) case. The High Court’s ruling upheld Kejriwal’s arrest by the CBI in connection with the alleged corruption case stemming from the excise policy scam.
The High Court’s decision to dispose of the bail plea, effectively upholding Kejriwal’s arrest, has prompted the AAP to pursue this legal recourse in the Supreme Court. The party is seeking to overturn the High Court’s judgment and secure Kejriwal’s release from CBI custody. This development marks a significant escalation in the legal battle surrounding the alleged excise policy scam and its implications for the Delhi government.
The CBI’s investigation into the alleged excise policy scam has been a source of intense political controversy, with the AAP and the BJP engaging in a fierce war of words. The case has also raised concerns about the potential for political interference in the investigation and the implications for the independence of the CBI. The outcome of Kejriwal’s appeal to the Supreme Court will be closely watched by political observers and the public alike.
