AAP leader Manish Sisodia seeks early hearing of curative petitions challenging bail denial in Delhi excise policy scam.
Jailed AAP leader Manish Sisodia on March 4 sought early hearing of his two curative petitions in the Supreme Court challenging the 2023 verdict of the court denying him bail in the corruption and money laundering cases related to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam.
A Bench of Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and Justices J.B. Pardiwala and Manoj Misra was told by senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi, appearing for Mr. Sisodia, that a trial court has said it will not hear the bail plea till the curative is decided.
“Just send an email, we will look at it” the Bench said in response.
A Delhi court had deferred hearing on Mr. Sisodia’s bail plea after noting that an application related to the case was pending before the Supreme Court.
On December 14, 2023, the top court dismissed Mr. Sisodia’s pleas seeking review of its October 30 verdict dismissing his bail petitions in the corruption and money laundering cases related to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam.
The Supreme Court had denied him bail, saying the allegations by the probe agencies that “windfall gains” of ₹338 crore was made by a few wholesale distributors was “tentatively supported” by evidence.
Mr. Sisodia was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on February 26, 2023 for his alleged role in the “scam”.
