Manish Sisodia's bail plea in the money laundering case related to the excise policy is pending before the court.
The Delhi High Court Thursday asked former deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia, arrested in cases related to alleged irregularities in the city government's excise policy, to explain why he chose to withdraw the policy when it was claimed to be "so good".
Justice Dinesh Kumar Sharma, while hearing the bail application of co-accused Vijay Nair in a money laundering case arising from the alleged scam, asked the counsel for the AAP leader to "get a definite reply" to his query.
Mr Sisodia also held the excise portfolio besides many others as the deputy chief minister.
"If policy is so good, why did you withdraw it? Get a definitive reply for this," said the judge, who was informed that Mr Sisodia, currently lodged in Tihar jail, has once again filed applications for his interim release.
