The Supreme Court on Monday denied bail to Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, who is facing money laundering and corruption charges in the liquor policy scam.
A Bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and SVN Bhatti, which reserved the verdict on October 17, pronounced the judgment on Monday morning. During the hearing, Justice Khanna had questioned the Enforcement Directorate (ED) about establishing an offence under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) without a bribery charge against Sisodia, represented by senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi.
Sisodia is currently in custody in connection with an alleged corruption and money laundering case linked to the Delhi excise policy scam.
The case so far:
On October 17, the Supreme Court reserved its decision on the bail petitions filed by Sisodia after hearing arguments from senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, who represented the former Deputy Chief Minister, and Additional Solicitor General (ASG) SV Raju, who had appeared for the CBI and the ED.
