The Rouse Avenue Court in Delhi has made a significant ruling regarding the liquor policy, acquitting former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his associate Manish Sisodia of all charges. The court clarified that the allegations could only hold weight if there were substantial and adequate evidence, which the investigating agency failed to present in this case. This outcome is a significant legal victory for Kejriwal and Sisodia, particularly given the accusations that had mounted against them regarding the liquor policy's implementation and ethical implications.

Initially, the court acquitted former Excise Commissioner Kuldeep Singh, followed by Manish Sisodia and ultimately Arvind Kejriwal, indicating a failure on the part of the investigation to provide credible evidence to substantiate their case. The court criticized the investigating agency for presenting weak and insufficient evidence, stressing several deficiencies in the chargesheet submitted. In response to this favorable verdict for Kejriwal and his party, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has hinted at challenging the court's decision in the High Court, suggesting that the legal battles in this case may not yet be over.

Kejriwal, deeply moved by the verdict, asserted that the case against him was fabricated and aimed at tarnishing both his and his party's reputation. He described the situation as the biggest political conspiracy orchestrated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah. The implication of this statement highlights the intense political rivalry in India, especially between Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party and the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, suggesting that such legal challenges may be layered with political motivations that extend beyond just the allegations at hand.
