Arvind Kejriwal Withdraws SC Petition, Plans Bail Application in Trial Court

In a significant turn of events, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has withdrawn his writ petition in the Supreme Court challenging his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate. Senior advocate AM Singhvi, representing Kejriwal, announced the decision before Justice Sanjiv Khanna, indicating their intention to seek bail directly before the trial court.

Justice Khanna advised Singhvi to proceed with the bail application before the trial court, marking a shift in legal strategy. Kejriwal’s lawyers are expected to argue against any request by the ED for his remand, emphasizing the political motivations behind his arrest and highlighting the unanswered ED summons. The withdrawal of the petition underscores the evolving dynamics of Kejriwal’s legal battle and the impending scrutiny of his arrest in the trial court proceedings.
