The Delhi court has reserved its order on AAP leader Satyendar Jain’s bail application, linked to the DJB tender scam, with a hearing set for September 3.
The Delhi court on Tuesday postponed its decision on the bail plea filed by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) legislator Satyendar Jain, who is accused in the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) tender irregularities case. Jain’s application seeks temporary release while the investigation into alleged procurement anomalies continues.
According to court records, the bail petition was heard but the bench chose to reserve its order, indicating that the matter will be revisited after further deliberation. The judge cited the need to examine additional evidence presented by the prosecution before reaching a conclusion.
The next hearing is scheduled for September 3, when the court will announce whether Jain will be granted bail pending trial. The decision is expected to have political ramifications, given Jain’s prominence in the AAP and the high‑profile nature of the DJB tender controversy.
