Senior advocate Mohit Mathur, representing Mr. Sisodia, said since the order on the main bail plea in the CBI case is already reserved and the condition of the AAP leader’s wife is now stable, he does not wish to press for interim bail.
However, Additional Solicitor General S.V. Raju, representing the CBI and ED, said it was not a simple case of withdrawal of bail applications. Mr. Raju said the move has come after he accused Mr. Sisodia of deliberate suppression of facts by not mentioning in court about the discharge of his wife from hospital.
