Arvind Kejriwal will remain in jail after the Delhi High Court, on Tuesday afternoon, upheld its interim stay on a lower court granting the Chief Minister regular bail in the alleged liquor policy case.
The High Court argued that the lower court - Delhi's Rouse Avenue Court - "didn't apply its mind" when granting bail and pointed to what it said were lapses in judgement. These included not giving the prosecution enough time to argue the application and failing to properly discuss conditions for release in the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, under which Mr Kejriwal was charged.

"Averments and allegations made in the main petition (in which the prosecution challenged Mr Kejriwal's bail order) require due consideration...," the High Court said, declaring the lower court had also failed to "discuss the vicarious liability of Arvind Kejriwal under Section 70 of the PMLA".
