Delhi High Court has stayed the bail🧸 order granted by Rouse Avenue Court. With this, Chief Minister and AAP Supremo Arvind Kejriwal will remain in Tihar Jail until a new order is pronounced.

The matter was heard by a bench comprising of Justices Sudhir Kumar Jain and Ravinder Dudej🦹a.🌟 The High Court's decision comes just hours before Kejriwal was set to be released from Tihar Jail.

As per reports, the new order regarding the Delhi CM's bail will be announced on Monday or Tuesday. Until then, the Delhi High Court stated that a thorough exami♕nation of ED's petition will b🍰e conducted.

"Until the matter is fully heඣard and evaluated, the trial ��court's decision granting bail cannot be implemented".

Additional Solicitor General SV Raju appeared for the Enforcement Directorate and highlighted "serious procedural irregularities" leading up to the tri🌃al court's order.

"The trial court's order is completely flawed. The court said there was no direct proof. That's a wrong statement by th🦩e court," stated the ASG.

On Thursday evening, Delhi's Rouse Avenue Court granted bail to the AAP leade💦r after reserving its judgement later in the day. As per the order passed, Kejriwal was allowed to leave Tihar Jail after submitting a bail bond of Rs 1 lakh.

However, on Friday, Delhi HC paused the bail order and𓄧 has now dec𒀰ided to stay the bail grant.

Arvind Kejriwal was arrested on March 21 for his 🐷alleged involvement in the now scrapped liquor scam case. Since then, the AAP Supremo had been lodged in Tihar Jail.

In May, the Supreme Court granted the Delhi CM interim bail to campaign for the Lok Sabha Elections till June ☂1. On June 2, the Delhi CM surrendered himself to the authorities and returned to jail.
