The Supreme Court's recent rulings affirming the principle that "bail is the rule, jail is the exception" even in Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) cases are seen as a significant shift. This decision has raised hopes for Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, currently jailed in a money laundering case linked to the Delhi excise policy. The court’s stance could ease the burden on overcrowded jails and prompt investigative agencies to strengthen their cases. Lawyers view these rulings as a positive change, reinforcing personal liberty over prolonged incarceration.
