The Supreme Court acknowledged that while Arvind Kejriwal's arrest was legal, his prolonged detention was an unjust deprivation of liberty, granting him bail to contest charges.
Justice Surya Kant highlighted the implications of prolonged incarceration, indicating that it undermines personal liberty and can hinder an individual’s ability to address and contest legal allegations.
The ruling is seen as a crucial moment for the Aam Aadmi Party, allowing Kejriwal to campaign in pivotal regional elections following his release.
The allegations against Kejriwal center on a 2021 liquor sale liberalization policy, with accusations of significant kickbacks involving his administration and liquor contractors.
