Supreme Court Grants Bail to Bibhav Kumar in Swati Maliwal Assault Case
The Supreme Court granted bail to Bibhav Kumar, an aide of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who was arrested for allegedly assaulting Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal. The decision came after Kumar spent 100 days in judicial custody. The primary long-tail keyword “Bibhav Kumar Swati Maliwal assault case bail” appears at the start, optimizing SEO for the story.
A bench comprising Justices Surya Kant and Ujjal Bhuyan heard Kumar’s plea challenging his arrest and seeking bail in the assault case. Justice Bhuyan remarked that the injuries sustained by Maliwal were simple, making it a clear case for bail. He emphasized that keeping Kumar in custody was unjustified under the circumstances, especially since the chargesheet had already been filed.
Justice Bhuyan also addressed concerns raised by Additional Solicitor General SV Raju, who represented the Delhi Police. Raju argued that certain critical witnesses were under Kumar’s influence and needed to be examined before granting bail. However, Justice Bhuyan found this apprehension to be exaggerated, stating that such arguments should not prevent bail.
Bibhav Kumar was arrested on May 18 after Swati Maliwal accused him of assault at the Chief Minister’s residence on May 13. Medical reports from AIIMS confirmed bruises on Maliwal’s face and leg. Subsequently, Kumar was charged under Sections 308, 341, 354B, and 506 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). Last month, a Delhi court extended his judicial custody until September 13, further complicating his legal battle.
This case highlights the ongoing tensions within AAP and brings attention to issues of conflict and accountability within political circles. The Supreme Court’s intervention reflects the judiciary’s role in balancing legal rights and addressing concerns of undue detention. Kumar’s bail marks a significant turn in the high-profile case, drawing widespread media attention and public scrutiny.
