Court slaps ₹75,000 fine on petitioner in Arvind Kejriwal bail plea

• Delhi High Court rejects plea for Arvind Kejriwal's extraordinary interim bail
• Court imposes ₹75,000 fine on petitioner, citing Kejriwal's judicial custody
• The petition was filed by  afaourth year law student, and deemed not admissible by the court 

The Delhi High Court on Monday rejected a plea requesting the release of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on "extraordinary interim bail" in all criminal cases filed against him by the Enforcement Directorate and the State until the end of his tenure.

The court levied a fine of ₹75,000 on the petitioner, stating that the Aam Aadmi Party leader remains in judicial custody according to the court's orders.

The plea, submitted by a fourth-year law student under the title 'We the People of India,' was deemed not admissible by the court, as it cannot grant extraordinary interim bail in ongoing cases against a person holding a high office in its writ jurisdiction.

Senior Advocate Rahul Mehra, representing Kejriwal, criticized the PIL as "completely impermissible" and "misguided."
