Manish Sisodia moves SC against Delhi HC orders denying him bail in liquor policy scam
Sisodia has approached SC against HCs July 3 and May 29 orders denying him bail in the cases registered against him by the ED and the CBI respectively.
NEW DELHI: Former Delhi Minister Manish Sisodia has approached the Supreme Court against the Delhi High Court orders denying him bail in the now-scrapped Delhi Liquor Policy scam.
Sisodia has cases registered against him by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
CBI arrested Sisodia on February 26 nearly eight hours after questioning him.
An FIR was registered against him under section 120B of IPC read with Section 477 IPC and section 7 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. He was taken into custody by the ED on March 9 in a money laundering case.
Sisodia has approached SC against HCs July 3 and May 29 orders denying him bail in the cases registered against him by the ED and the CBI respectively.
While rejecting his bail in the CBI case, Justice Dinesh Kumar Sharma said that the allegations against him were very serious in nature and that excise policy was formed at the instance of the “South Group.”
The Delhi HC had rejected to grant him the relief of bail in the CBI excise case on the ground of “serious allegations.”
In the ED case, Justice Dinesh Sharma said that Sisodia didn’t meet the twin conditions for the grant of bail under PMLA as well as the triple test for the grant of bail. Justice Sharma also underlined that special judge’s order was well reasoned and relieved on the basis of material on record and didn’t suffer from any illegality or infirmity.
