Supreme Court Remarks on ED's Objection to Interim Bail for Arvind Kejriwal, Highlighting his Status as an Elected CM and the Rarity of Elections

During the hearing of Arvind Kejriwal's plea against his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the Delhi Liquor Policy case, the Supreme Court emphasized that it cannot regard the Delhi Chief Minister as a habitual offender. Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta, while considering the request for interim bail, expressed disagreement with Solicitor General Tushar Mehta's comparison of Kejriwal's case to others incarcerated, underscoring Kejriwal's position as an elected CM and the infrequency of elections held once every five years.
