Court was hearing the bail plea filed by Manish Sisodia in the money laundering case being investigated by the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) in connection with the Delhi liquor policy scam.
Special Judge M K Nagpal of the Rouse Avenue Court, Delhi will hear former Deputy Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Manish Sisodia's bail plea on April 5 at 2 pm, in the money laundering case being investigated by the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) in connection with the Delhi liquor policy scam.
During the hearing today, Senior Advocates Dayan Krishnan and Mohit Mathur appeared for Sisodia. Special Public Prosecutor (SPP) Zoheb Hossain appeared for the ED.
The senior advocates informed the court that ED hasn’t filed its reply in the bail plea. Krishnan contended, “We’ll have to go through the ED’s reply, for making any submission in the bail application. After all it’s a PMLA case”. Accordingly, he sought a short adjournment in the plea.
SPP submitted their reply in the bail plea, and annexed it with a pen drive. He stated that the pen drive contains a short audio file.
Taking note of the submissions, the court noted that a copy of ED’s reply has been given to the counsels for the accused. Accordingly, the court listed the matter for further hearing on April 5 at 2 pm.
Notably, Sisodia is currently in Judicial Custody till April 5. He moved the bail application in the ED case on March 21.
Yesterday, the court “reserved orders” in Sisodia’s bail plea in the CBI case, in connection with the Delhi Liquor Scam.
It is CBI's case that there were alleged irregularities in the framing and implementation of the excise policy for the year 2021-22. On February 26, the CBI commenced a second round of questioning after Sisodia's earlier questioning on October 17 last year. Chargesheet in the matter was filed on November 25, 2022.
