Today, On 18th August, The Supreme Court has agreed to hear the plea of AAP leaders Arvind Kejriwal and Atishi challenging the Delhi High Court order that refused to quash a defamation case, with Justice Sundresh stating, “We will fix a date.”
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today has requested a seven-day extension of his interim bail on medical grounds, citing weight loss and elevated ketone levels. The Supreme Court previously granted him interim bail until June 1 in a money laundering case. The Enforcement Directorate strongly opposed this decision, stating that he should not receive special treatment due to his political status. Kejriwal’s arrest relates to alleged irregularities in the framing of the Delhi excise policy.
A BJP leader filed a defamation lawsuit against Arvind Kejriwal and Atishi. The suit stems from accusations of attempting to poach AAP leaders with large sums of money. This legal clash reflects the intense political division in India and is part of a series of contentious exchanges between the two parties, often escalating into legal battles.
