High Court Shouldn't Send Accused To Trial Court For Bail After Hearing At Length : Supreme Court In Arvind Kejriwal Case

In the ongoing legal battle over the Delhi Liquor Policy case, the Supreme Court refused to relegate the bail application of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to the trial court. The CBI had sought to move the bail application to a lower court, but the Supreme Court retained jurisdiction over the matter. Kejriwal’s legal team argued that the case had broader constitutional and legal implications, warranting the Supreme Court’s intervention. The court's decision to retain jurisdiction emphasizes the significance of the case, as it involves high-level government officials and allegations of corruption. This move keeps the case in the national spotlight, ensuring a comprehensive judicial review.
