After spending six days in Tihar Jail for refusing to furnish a personal bond in a defamation case filed by BJP MP Nitin Gadkari, former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday furnished the bond, acting on Delhi high court’s advice to his lawyers.
The courtroom action to secure Kejriwal’s release started before the high court bench of justices Kailash Gambhir and Sunita Gupta around 11 am, and ended in the court of metropolitan magistrate Gomati Manocha at 5.15 pm when his counsel told her that the AAP leader had signed the personal bond and was ready to file it. Kejriwal walked out of Tihar Jail around 7.30 pm.
During the high court hearing held in a jam-packed courtroom, the bench advised senior counsel Shanti Bhushan and advocate Prashant Bhushan, who appeared for Kejriwal, to ask him to furnish a bond and raise other legal issues after coming out.
