LIVE: Will Kejriwal Get Bail? Supreme Court Hearing Begins, Decision Expected Soon

What are the Latest Updates on the Hearing?

The Supreme Court of India has commenced the hearing on the bail plea of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in connection with a defamation case filed against him by former Union Minister Arun Jaitley.

A bench comprising Justices Dipak Misra and Amitava Roy is hearing the matter.

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for Jaitley, opposed Kejriwal's bail plea saying that the allegations against him are serious in nature.

What Led to the Defamation Case Against Kejriwal?

In December 2015, Jaitley filed a criminal defamation case against Kejriwal and five other Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders for allegedly making false and defamatory statements against him during the 2014 Lok Sabha election campaign.

The complaint alleged that Kejriwal and the other AAP leaders had made false and defamatory statements about Jaitley's financial dealings and his involvement in alleged corruption scandals.

The trial court had issued summons to Kejriwal and the other AAP leaders in the case.

What is the Significance of the Supreme Court Hearing?

The Supreme Court's decision on Kejriwal's bail plea will have significant implications for the case.

If the court grants bail to Kejriwal, it will provide him with some relief and allow him to continue his duties as Delhi Chief Minister.

However, if the court denies bail to Kejriwal, it will be a major setback for him and could potentially lead to his arrest.

What are the Possible Outcomes of the Hearing?

The Supreme Court could grant bail to Kejriwal on certain conditions, such as the requirement to surrender his passport or to not make any public statements about the case.

The court could also deny bail to Kejriwal, in which case he would be taken into custody and sent to jail until the trial is completed.

The court could also defer its decision on the bail plea and seek further information or arguments from the parties.

The Supreme Court's decision is expected to be announced later today.
