A Delhi Court on Saturday reserved for June 5 its order on an application moved by Delhi Chief Minister and AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal seeking interim bail in a money laundering case linked to the alleged excise policy scam.
Special Judge Kaveri Baweja reserved the order, observing that the application was for the grant of interim bail on medical grounds and not for the extension of the interim bail granted by the Supreme Court. The Enforcement Directorate opposed the application and claimed Kejriwal has suppressed facts and made false statements, including about his health.
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Enforcement Directorate, told the court that Kejriwal also made misleading claims at a press conference on Friday that he is going to surrender on June 2. The chief minister's counsel told the court that Kejriwal is ill and needs treatment.
Kejriwal's interim relief granted by the apex court ends on June 1 and he has to surrender by Sunday.
