As the judicial custody of Delhi’s Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal, sees an interim release until June 1st, 2024, the Supreme Court has outlined a series of stringent conditions.
Firstly, Kejriwal must provide bail bonds totaling Rs. 50,000, along with a surety of equal value, satisfying the Jail Superintendent’s standards. However, the Court has explicitly barred Kejriwal from setting foot in both the Chief Minister’s Office and the Delhi Secretariat during this interim period.
Moreover, Kejriwal is obligated to adhere to the declaration made on his behalf, refraining from signing official documents unless it’s indispensable and subject to the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi’s authorization.
Furthermore, the Court has explicitly forbidden Kejriwal from engaging in any discourse regarding his involvement in the ongoing case. He is also barred from communicating with any witnesses or accessing official documents linked to the case.
Lastly, the Court has mandated Kejriwal’s return to custody on June 2nd, 2024.
These directives stem from the bench comprising Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta. For a comprehensive overview of today’s legal proceedings, refer to the detailed report available.
