The Supreme Court on August 4 said that an application filed by former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia for interim bail will be listed on September 4 along with his main plea for regular bail in the liquor excise policy scam case.
Mr. Sisodia had sought a few days of interim bail to take care of his wife who suffers from a progressive illness.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), however, responded that his wife had been suffering from the disease for the past 23 years.
“It has peaked. He needs a few days,” senior advocate A.M. Singhvi, for Mr. Sisodia, urged the court.
A Bench headed by Justice Sanjiv Khanna said that the plea for interim relief would be listed along with the petition for regular bail.
The court, meanwhile, asked Additional Solicitor General S.V. Raju, for the CBI and the Enforcement Directorate (ED), to provide it a “clear picture of how the money trail is established in the case”.
The court said it wanted the agency to provide it with details about the excise policy, the money trail and the allegations regarding tampering of evidence, if any, in the case.
