The Supreme Court has granted bail to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the excise policy corruption case. The verdict was delivered today, with Kejriwal being released on a bail bond of Rs 10 lakh and two sureties. The apex court's decision follows Kejriwal's challenge to his arrest by the CBI in connection with the alleged excise policy scam. The Supreme Court noted that prolonged incarceration amounts to unjust deprivation of liberty. The court also directed Kejriwal not to make any public comments on the merits of the case. Justices Ujjal Bhuyan and Surya Kant were involved in the decision, and Kejriwal had been on interim bail prior to the verdict.
