In 2023, the Supreme Court had granted him interim bail on medical grounds.
He returned to prison in 2024 after the apex court denied him regular bail in March.
Former Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal and his deputy Manish Sisodia were granted bail recently.
Both were accused of money laundering in framing a new liquor policy for New Delhi.
Kejriwal quit as CM after he was released from prison.
Atishi took oath as Delhi CM after Kejriwal stepped down from the post.
