The Supreme Court is set to pronounce its verdict on May 10 on the interim bail plea filed by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in a money laundering case. Kejriwal was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on March 21 and has been in judicial custody since then. During a hearing on May 7, the court had reserved its order on Kejriwal’s bail plea, stating that he should refrain from carrying out any official responsibilities if granted interim bail. Senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, representing Kejriwal, had guaranteed that the Delhi chief minister would abstain from signing any documents pertaining to the excise policy case and also from performing official duties if released on bail.
