TNI Bureau: In a major relief to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Supreme Court today granted him interim bail till June 1, the final phase of 2024 Lok Sabha election.

While granting the interim bail, the apex court directed him to surrender to the prison authorities by June 2 and his bail conditions would be similar to those imposed on AAP leader Sanjay Singh, when he was given interim relief by the top court.

Senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, who appeared for Kejriwal, had sought interim bail till June 4, the date of election result will be declared, however, the denied and granted him the bail till June 1.
