Good morning. Welcome to The Print

1:38

AM, our daily morning podcast of the

1:40

big news story. I am Bhadra Sinha,

1:42

Deputy Editor with The Print. And in

1:45

today's podcast, you will hear about the

1:47

Supreme Court order granting interim bail to

1:49

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. Bearing

1:51

in mind the ongoing Lok Sabha elections and

1:53

the fact that he is the leader of

1:56

one of the national parties, the Supreme Court

1:58

on Friday granted him bail. in Tarim

2:00

Beil to Delhi Chief Minister Aravind

2:02

Kedriwal till 1st June. The

2:05

Aam Aatmi Party National Convener

2:07

has been in jail since

2:09

March this year on money

2:12

laundering allegations in connection with

2:14

the now withdrawn Delhi excise

2:16

policy. Expectedly, Kedriwal's release will

2:18

give a boost to Aap's political

2:20

campaign in the remaining phases of

2:23

the 18th Lok Sabha election. Delhi

2:25

and Punjab, the two states where the

2:27

party is dominant will go to polls

2:29

in Phase 6 and Phase 7. The

2:32

Supreme Court bench of justices Sanjeev

2:35

Khanna and Deepankar Datta took a

2:37

holistic and libertarian view while giving

2:39

the relief to Kedriwal. But

2:42

the reprieve is subject to conditions,

2:44

with one of them restraining the

2:46

Chief Minister from visiting his own

2:48

office at the Delhi secretariat. The

2:50

court also ordered that Kedriwal was

2:52

bound by the statement that was

2:55

made on his behalf by

2:57

his lawyers saying that he

2:59

would not sign any official

3:01

files unless it is required

3:03

and necessary for obtaining clearance

3:05

or approval of the left-hand

3:07

governor. This means Kedriwal

3:09

can deal with a limited set

3:12

of officials' files, only

3:14

those that require to be sent to

3:16

the left-hand governor. Before proceeding

3:18

further, let me take you back

3:20

to how Kedriwal landed in jail. So, the

3:23

Delhi Chief Minister was arrested by

3:25

the anti-money laundering agency Enforcement Direct

3:27

Trade in connection with

3:30

the now scrapped excise policy on

3:32

21st March this year. This

3:34

was days after the 2024 Lok

3:37

Sabha election schedule was announced and

3:39

one and a half years after

3:42

the prosecuting agency launched its

3:44

probe in the case. The

3:46

ED Charges are predicated on

3:48

corruption allegations made in an

3:50

FIR registered by the Central

3:52

Bureau of Investigation in connection

3:54

with the Excise Policy case.

3:56

While CBI has not arrested

3:58

Kedriwal yet, Eat it

4:00

took him into custody based on

4:02

an apple This statement guess you

4:04

want immediately challenge does It is

4:07

quite seeing his legality when he

4:09

did not get relief and the

4:11

trial court he approached the Delhi

4:13

high court which to rejected his

4:15

be against the addressed. In

4:17

it's order, the High court held

4:19

that the he be possesses. Adequate

4:22

evidence to suggest his involvement in

4:24

money laundering related to the excise

4:26

policy Keys He had been approached

4:28

the supreme court in less than

4:31

twenty four hours on tenth of

4:33

April to be sure side is

4:35

order off the supreme court all

4:38

need good in bed him. as

4:40

a least two kids he was

4:42

and does not decide on the

4:44

merits of his petition in which

4:47

he has question the validity of

4:49

his este last week when the

4:51

stop. Could bench was heading arguments

4:53

and better tude she was it

4:55

is is illegal or not It

4:57

realized that the matter would take

5:00

longer time to conclude. Hence,

5:02

It to you the idea of releasing

5:04

keys you lot on be which was

5:06

opposed them and please by the Edi.

5:09

That earlier this week the just

5:11

this once again suggested giving instead

5:13

in be decades he was so

5:15

that he can participate in the

5:17

ongoing elections subject to the conditions

5:19

that he would not sign any

5:21

official size. But it beats order

Nodded and see that have kids Yvonne

However, the Se has said in it's

in response to eat his

6:56

court said it can always

consider the question of grant

the present case was the

7:16

also dismissed ease argument that

lol at this juncture would

7:22

defy the constitutional provision any

7:25

9:13

An orderly informed the lawyers that

9:15

it would have bought the party's

9:20

The. Code did not consider it proper to

consideration before the apex court. it

9:39

did not agree with ease argument that

9:42

gates you guys should not be given

day in bed and benefits saying that

9:46

the court has in the past exercised

9:48

it's power to give such a relief

9:50

in a number of cases the keys

9:53

at times is not an exception it

9:55

observed though the court identified kids he

9:57

was failure to respond to ease nine

9:59

notices that the first one issued

10:01

in October 2023 as a negative factor,

10:04

it said there were other

10:06

facets that favored him and this were

10:08

his being the Chief Minister of Delhi

10:10

and leader of a national party. Despite

10:13

the serious acquisitions, the court felt

10:15

the AAP leader merited in Tarim

10:17

bail for now because he

10:19

is not a threat to society, does

10:21

not have any criminal antecedents and has

10:24

not been convicted. The court

10:27

noted the investigation in the case is

10:29

pending since August 2022. Finally,

10:32

the court clarified that its order

10:34

should not be treated as an

10:36

expression of opinion on the merits

10:38

of the case or the

10:40

criminal appeal which is pending consideration

before it. That's all that I
