Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal could not get relief from the court in the excise case. On Wednesday, the Rouse Avenue Court rejected his interim bail plea. After hearing both the parties, the court had reserved the decision on this on June 1 itself.
Special Judge Kaveri Baveja of Delhi's Rouse Avenue Court on Wednesday rejected Arvind Kejriwal's bail plea. Arvind Kejriwal had filed a petition in the court and appealed to extend the interim bail, for which he had cited health reasons. ASG SV Raju on behalf of ED opposed this. ED had told at that time that he was seeking bail on medical grounds, while he was campaigning in Punjab.
