The Supreme Court on Friday granted bail to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the corruption case linked to the excise policy 'scam'. A bench of Justices Surya Kant and Ujjal Bhuyan granted the relief to Kejriwal on a bail bond of Rs 10 lakh, and two sureties.
The top court directed Kejriwal not to make any public comment on the merits of the case.
The Aam Aadmi Party leader can now leave jail - after nearly six months without a trial - since he already has bail in the case filed by the Enforcement Directorate. He cannot, however go to his office or the Delhi Secretariat, or sign files without Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena's consent.
