New Delhi, India (May 27, 2014): Earlier in the day, the Delhi High Court advised Kejriwal, who is presently lodged in Tihar Jail, to furnish a bail bond in the criminal defamation case.

A bench of Justices Kailash Gambhir and Sunita Gupta said Kejriwal can raise whatever legal issues he wants to once he comes out of jail and that he should not make it a prestige issue.

The judges advised Kejriwal to furnish the bail bond and said that the same would be subject to final outcome of the legal issues raised by him.

On Monday, a PIL was filed in the Delhi High Court challenging the May 21 and 23 orders of a magisterial court remanding Kejriwal in judicial custody for not furnishing the bail bond.

Arvind Kejriwal in his plea, filed through advocate Rohit Kumar Singh, has said the magisterial order sending him to judicial custody was ‘illegal’ as it was based on a ‘completely wrong premise of law’.
