Supreme Court Grants Interim Bail To Arvind Kejriwal In PMLA Case; Refers Plea Challenging ED Arrest To Larger Bench

The Supreme Court granted interim bail to Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal in the PMLA case concerning the Delhi liquor policy, referring the legality of his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to a larger bench. The court will examine if the necessity of arrest is a prerequisite under Section 19 of PMLA. Although Kejriwal received bail, he remains in custody due to a separate arrest by the CBI under the Prevention of Corruption Act. The Supreme Court’s interim bail decision underscores the need for thorough judicial examination of arrest protocols.
