The Supreme Court granted Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal interim bail till June 1—nearly two months after his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate in the excise policy case. On June 2, Kejriwal will have to surrender and go back to jail. A bench—comprising Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta—announced the verdict on Friday after reserving it on May 7. His release will now allow him to campaign for the Lok Sabha elections in Delhi, to be held on May 25.
