A Delhi court will hear AAP leader Manish Sisodia's plea seeking interim bail in excise cases for campaigning in Lok Sabha elections on Saturday
Earlier, on April 12, the court issued notice to the ED and the CBI on Sisodia's plea. Special Judge for the CBI and ED, Kaveri Baweja, directed the central probe agencies to file their replies by April 20.
The CBI as well as the ED alleged that irregularities were committed while modifying the Delhi excise policy, undue favours were extended to licence holders, licence fee was waived or reduced and licences were extended without the competent authority's approval.
The beneficiaries allegedly diverted "illegal" gains to the accused officials and made false entries in their books of account to evade detection, the probe agencies have alleged.
