Arvind Kejriwal vs Directorate Of Enforcement

The Supreme Court addressed the legal issues surrounding the arrest of Arvind Kejriwal by the Directorate of Enforcement under Section 19 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002. The Court emphasized the importance of the ongoing General Elections and the need to consider the unique circumstances of the appellant when deliberating on interim bail. Citing Article 21 of the Constitution and the precedent set in Mukesh Kishanpuria v. State of West Bengal, the Court held that the power to grant interim bail is inherent in the power to grant regular bail, thus rejecting the prosecution's arguments against interim relief.
