New Delhi: The Supreme Court will hear today whether Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will get bail in the liquor scam or he will have to remain in jail. Arvind Kejriwal’s bail plea is to be heard in the SC today. According to sources, the CBI has filed an affidavit opposing Kejriwal’s bail. The CBI has said that Kejriwal is the kingpin of this scam. Despite not being the minister of the Excise Department, he is the architect of the entire scam.

The CBI said in its affidavit that Kejriwal knew everything about this scam because all the decisions were taken with his consent and direction. Arvind Kejriwal is not giving satisfactory answers to the questions of the investigating agency. Kejriwal’s bail plea will be heard by a bench of Justice Suryakant and Justice Ujjal Bhuiyan in the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court had issued a notice to the CBI during the last hearing on August 14 and sought a reply on Kejriwal’s plea.

These are the things CBI said in the affidavit

• The CBI, in its affidavit, accused Kejriwal and said that he is trying to make the matter politically sensational before the court. The High Court, while dismissing Kejriwal’s plea, had observed that “it cannot be said that the arrest of the petitioner was without any reasonable cause or was illegal.”
• The High Court in its order had upheld the lower court’s permission to arrest and remand Kejriwal, for which due procedure was followed.
• Arvind Kejriwal’s influence and clout is evident, and not only as the Chief Minister, he wields influence over the government of Delhi, but also as the supremo and national convener of the Aam Aadmi Party, he has a strong influence over the government. He also has close ties with officials and bureaucrats.
• During the custodial interrogation, Kejriwal was also confronted with sensitive documents and statements of witnesses in the case.
• There is no violation of law so far as the arrest of the petitioner is concerned.
• The facts and circumstances of each case are different.
• Kejriwal’s arrest has been made as per the procedure established by law.
• Releasing Kejriwal on bail will have a serious impact on the trial of the case in the trial court, which is at a preliminary stage with key witnesses yet to testify.
• So far as the claim for interim bail on medical grounds is concerned, the ailments in question can be treated in Tihar Jail Hospital or any of its referral hospitals as per the jail rules and manual.
• No case is made out by the petitioner for his release on medical bail, which should be granted only if treatment in jail is not possible.
