Arvind Kejriwal is "not a habitual offender", the Supreme Court observed Tuesday as it heard arguments for the grant of interim bail for the Delhi Chief Minister, who is in the city's Tihar Jail on money laundering charges linked to the now-scrapped liquor excise policy.
The top court - which is hearing the larger matter of Mr Kejriwal's plea against his arrest - had earlier said it would consider bail for the AAP leader to allow him to campaign for his party in the ongoing Lok Sabha election. Delhi - which has seven Lok Sabha seats, all of which were won by the BJP in the last election - votes in a single phase on May 25.
The court began by observing that Arvind Kejriwal is the "elected Chief Minister" of the national capital. "There are elections... these are extraordinary circumstances and he is not a habitual offender," a bench of Justice Sanjiv Khanna and Justice Dipankar Datta said.
