Arvind Kejriwal's Plea For Extension Of Bail Won't Be Heard By Supreme Court

-

 


The Supreme Court is likely not to hear Arvind Kejriwal's plea seeking a seven-day extension of his interim bail in a corruption case related to Delhi's liquor policy. The court had last month granted interim bail to Kejriwal to allow him to campaign for the Lok Sabha elections and asked him to appear before it on June 2, the day after the final polling day.

The Supreme Court registrar rejected the application, saying the application is "inadmissible" as the Delhi Chief Minister has obtained leave to file a regular bail application in court.

Kejriwal had sought the extension on medical grounds and had requested the court for an urgent hearing today.

Senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, representing Kejriwal, said in the application that "considering his health complications and increasing signs of risk, a medical examination is necessary to protect him from possible harm in prison for a prolonged period." He also stressed that AAP leaders will remain "publicly visible and accessible" while out on bail.

"There is no risk of evading legal process and the conditions (of interim bail) laid down by the Supreme Court have been adhered to...," Singhvi said. The investigating agency believes that the Delhi Chief Minister played a key role in drafting the now-defunct policy and in demanding bribes and kickbacks in exchange for liquor licences. It has alleged that the AAP received bribes worth Rs 100 crore, which were used to fund election campaigns in Goa and Punjab.

 What is the Gaza Strip? What you want to be aware of the domain at the core of the Israel-Hamas war The Gaza Strip has been the focal point of weighty siege for over seven days after Israel sent off retaliatory airstrikes for the extraordinary dread assault by Palestinian assailant bunch Hamas on Oct. 7. The territory — a limited segment of land among Israel and Egypt, close to the Mediterranean Ocean — is home to generally 2.3 million Palestinians and is portrayed as quite possibly of the most thickly populated put on The planet. The 140-square-mile district is generally the size of Philadelphia. Most of the people who live in Gaza are youthful, with practically 65% of the populace younger than 24. ' World's biggest outside jail' Beginning around 2007, Israel has forced an air, land and ocean bar on the Gaza Strip, saying the move is important to protect the country from Hamas' assaults. Gaza is encircled by substantial walls and security barriers. Palestinians are di...

Israel says Rafah is Hamas' last stronghold in the Gaza Strip. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to continue the long-running offensive against the southern Gaza town of Rafah, regardless of Hamas' response to calls for a new ceasefire and the return of Israeli hostages. Hopes for an end to the conflict have risen in recent days, with Egypt once again calling for the resumption of negotiations between Israel and Hamas. But so far there is little agreement between the two sides on the most important differences. Meanwhile, the International Criminal Court (ICC) has expressed concern about Israel's increasing isolation from the conflict in Gaza. Most of Gaza'...
