The Supreme Court on Friday afternoon gave Delhi CM Kejriwal interim bail till June 1, the final phase of voting for the seven-stage 2024 Lok Sabha election. The Aam Aadmi Party boss – arrested by the ED on March 21 in the alleged Delhi liquor excise policy scam, and now in the city’s Tihar Jail – must surrender to prison officials by June 2. The court also said pleas to extend relief beyond that date would be heard next week; Mr Kejriwal’s legal team had sought bail till July, i.e., till after the election and the formation of the new government.
