<h2><strong>What did the justices say?</strong></h2>

<p>Delivering the verdict, Justice Surya Kant said that the CBI's arrest of Kejriwal in the case was legal, adding that the chief minister would be released (from jail) subject to a bail bond of $11,914 (Rs 10 lakh).</p>

<p>Justice Kant added that Kejriwal&nbsp;cannot make comments about the case in public, and he has to be present for trial unless exempted.</p>

<p>"FIR was on August 2022 and 4 chargesheets have been filed and the trial court has taken cognisance and 17 accused to be examined.. completion of the trial is unlikely in the near future. Kejriwal satisfies the triple condition for the grant of bail and we order accordingly," he added.</p>

<p>Justice Bhuyan, meanwhile, said that the CBI's arrest&nbsp;was only a measure to make meaningless bail in the Enforcement Directorate's (ED) case.</p>
