The CBI arrested Kejriwal on June 26, while he was in judicial custody in connection with a money laundering case probed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
He was later granted interim bail by the Supreme Court in the ED case but he continues to remain in jail since he is yet to get bail in the CBI case.
Kejriwal had filed two separate petitions before the High Court – one seeking bail and another challenging his arrest by the CBI.
The High Court rejected the plea to quash the arrest.
Justice Neena Bansal Krishna said that there were adequate grounds to arrest Kejriwal.
As regards bail, the Court did not pronounce on the merits but asked Kejriwal to move the trial court instead.
Kejriwal had approached the High Court directly for bail.
