The Delhi high court on Friday halted the release of Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal from jail by staying a trial court’s order granting him bail in the excise policy case, dealing a setback to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and changing the course of the ongoing legal dispute yet again.
“I am reserving the order for two to three days. I have to go through the entire record. Until the pronouncement of the order on the stay application, the operation of the impugned trial court order shall be stayed. I will pronounce it by Tuesday,” justice Jain stated, also issuing notice on ED’s plea to set aside the trial court’s order.
