Delhi's Rouse Avenue Court on April 30 dismissed the second bail applications moved by Delhi’s former deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia in the cases registered by CBI and ED in connection with the probe into the now scrapped Delhi liquor excise policy 2021-22.
Sisodia had sought bail in both the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) cases.
Sisodia is currently in judicial custody and lodged in Delhi's Tihar Jail. Manish Sisodia was initially arrested by the CBI on February 26 and subsequently by the ED on March 9 last year. A lower court, the Delhi High Court, and the Supreme Court have refused him bail.
During the hearing held last week, the court instructed the ED to furnish a report detailing the anticipated duration for digitising the documents associated with the chargesheet. The probe agency had alleged that the accused persons were delaying the legal process and exhibiting reluctance to expedite the hearing.
