New Delhi: The Supreme Court will decide on Thursday if Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal should be released on bail in connection with the corruption case linked to the alleged liquor policy scam.

A bench of Justices Surya Kant and Ujjal Bhuyan will resume to hear his petition challenging arrest by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) as well as his distinct plea seeking bail.

Recently, the top court allowed bail pleas of senior AAP leader and former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Sisodia, BRS leader K. Kavitha, and AAP’s former communication-in-charge Vijay Nair in the excise policy case.

In his special leave petition filed before the Supreme Court, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convenor has challenged his arrest and subsequent remand orders while also pressing for bail in the corruption case. On the other hand, seeking dismissal of CM Kejriwal’s plea, the CBI said that the AAP supremo was simply attempting to politically sensationalise the matter, despite repeated orders passed by various courts being prima facie satisfied with the commission of the offences, for which cognisance already has been taken.
