Delhi Court Extends Arvind Kejriwal’s Judicial Custody Until August 27, Awaiting Next Hearing in CBI Case.

A Delhi court extended Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s judicial custody until August 27 on Tuesday. This decision relates to a corruption case filed by the CBI. Special Judge Kaavya Baveja ordered the extension of Kejriwal’s custody after he was presented via video conference. The court will consider the supplementary chargesheet filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on August 27.

Earlier, Kejriwal was arrested in connection with an alleged excise duty scam. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested him from his residence on March 21. Shortly after his arrest, the Delhi High Court rejected his plea for interim protection, which ruled out immediate relief for him.

Following his arrest, on July 12, the Supreme Court granted him interim bail in the money laundering case. The Supreme Court directed a larger bench to examine three crucial questions regarding the necessity of Kejriwal’s arrest. This bench will address these questions to determine if his arrest is warranted.

Although the Supreme Court granted interim bail in the money laundering case, Kejriwal remains in judicial custody due to the ongoing CBI case. The CBI has charged him with corruption, and the investigation is still ongoing.

During the next hearing on August 27, the court will review the supplementary chargesheet filed by the CBI, which will determine the future course of action in the case. Meanwhile, the extension of Kejriwal’s judicial custody indicates that further investigation and legal proceedings are needed. The proceedings in this case could have significant political and social implications, as it involves a major political party and its leader. Therefore, all eyes are on the upcoming court hearing in this case.
