Supreme Court had yesterday asked the central agency why AAP had not been named an accused if the ED contended that it benefited from the liquor policy
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is seeking legal opinion on whether the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) can be named an accused under money laundering charges relating to the now-scrapped Delhi liquor policy.
Hearing bail requests by senior AAP leader and former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, the Supreme Court had yesterday asked the central agency why AAP had not been named an accused, since the ED's case was that the party benefited from the liquor policy.
"As far as PMLA is concerned, your whole case is that the benefits went to a political party. That political party is still not made an accused or impleaded. How do you answer that? The political party is the beneficiary according to you," the bench of Justice Sanjiv Khanna and Justice SV Bhatti said yesterday.
