On Monday, the Supreme Court declined Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's request for immediate relief in his efforts to overturn the High Court's temporary suspension of a bail order issued last week by a lower court.

The court addressed Mr. Kejriwal's contention that the High Court had prematurely suspended the bail without fully reviewing the lower court's order and its reasoning. The court stated that it would await the official submission of the lower court's order and allow the High Court an opportunity to reconsider its decision to stay the bail before making a ruling on his plea.

The court scheduled Wednesday as the next hearing date, with the High Court anticipated to issue its comprehensive verdict on Tuesday. The Supreme Court remarked, "It is inappropriate to intervene while the High Court has reserved its judgment. We will schedule the hearing for the day after tomorrow."

This occurred following Additional Solicitor General Tushar Mehta's statement. He represented the Enforcement Directorate, which arrested Mr. Kejriwal in the liquor policy case in March and has opposed the Chief Minister's bail and medical relief requests. Mehta indicated that the High Court is expected to deliver its verdict within 24 hours.

Previously, the High Court halted Mr. Kejriwal's bail following a final challenge from the Enforcement Directorate. This challenge was filed just hours before he was scheduled to be released from jail, contending that the release order was "perverse."

The High Court promptly suspended Mr. Kejriwal's release, pending further arguments. On Sunday, Mr. Kejriwal challenged this suspension in the Supreme Court.
