Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has received significant relief from the Supreme Court in the liquor scam case. After 156 days, the Supreme Court has granted bail to Kejriwal.

The decision was made by a bench of Justices Surya Kant and Ujjal Bhuiyan. It is noteworthy that the Supreme Court had previously reserved its judgement on Kejriwal's bail petition in the Delhi liquor policy scam case. During the proceedings, both the CBI and Kejriwal presented their arguments.

Kejriwal was arrested by the ED on March 21 and, after 10 days of interrogation, was sent to Tihar Jail on April 1. He was granted temporary release for 21 days on May 10 for campaigning in the general elections, after spending 51 days in jail. The Supreme Court had approved Kejriwal's release until June 1. He surrendered at Tihar Jail on June 2. If released today, September 13, Kejriwal will have spent a total of 177 days in jail, with 156 days counting after accounting for the 21-day interim release.

The bail comes ahead of the Haryana state election where AAP has considerable presence. 

On Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal's bail, BJP leader Gaurav Bhatia says, "The Supreme Court has shown a mirror to 'kattar beimaan' AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal once again... He has got conditional bail... The 'jail wala' CM is now a 'bail wala' CM... The most important is that Arvind Kejriwal CM should resign as per the voice of the people of Delhi... But he will not do that because he does not have even a drop of morality... He used to say that a politician should resign even if there is an allegation. And now he is out on bail, he was in jail for 6 months, but he is not resigning... Bhrashtrachaar yukt, CM abhiyukt... Now, he is in the category of an accused..."
