In a rap to Union Home Minister Amit Shah for his comments on interim bail to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, the Supreme Court said Thursday that it has not made any exception for Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in granting him interim bail for campaigning in the Lok Sabha polls and “critical analysis of the judgment is welcome”.
A bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta refused to consider claims and counters of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Kejriwal’s lawyer on statements made related to the interim bail to the Aam Aadmi Party national convenor.
“We have not made any exception for anybody, we said in our order what we felt was justified,” the bench said, adding that critical analysis of the judgment is “welcome”.
Earlier , Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday said that many people feel the Supreme Court’s decision granting interim bail to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the excise policy case is akin to him getting special treatment.
In an interview with ANI, Shah said that the judgement in the case was not a routine judicial order.
“The Supreme Court has the right to interpret the law, I believe this is not a routine judgement. A lot of people in this country believe that special treatment has been given,” Shah said.
