Delhi High Court Seeks CBI, ED Response to Manish Sisodia’s Bail Pleas in Excise Policy Case

In a significant development, the Delhi High Court has called upon the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to respond to the bail pleas filed by former Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi, Manish Sisodia, in connection with the corruption and money laundering cases linked to the alleged excise policy scam.

Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma presided over the proceedings and issued notices to both investigative agencies regarding Sisodia’s petitions. These pleas challenge the decision of a trial court on April 30, which rejected Sisodia’s bail applications.

The High Court scheduled the next hearing on May 8, signaling an imminent review of the case and the possibility of reconsidering Sisodia’s bail status.

The alleged excise policy scam has garnered significant attention, and Sisodia’s involvement in the legal proceedings adds another layer of complexity to the case. As a former deputy chief minister, his actions and decisions during his tenure are under intense scrutiny, and the outcome of the bail petitions will have far-reaching implications.

Sisodia’s legal team is eagerly awaiting the responses from the CBI and the ED, hoping for a favorable outcome in their bid for bail. Meanwhile, the investigative agencies will have to present compelling arguments to justify their opposition to Sisodia’s release on bail.

The decision of the Delhi High Court on May 8 will not only impact Sisodia’s immediate legal standing but also shape the trajectory of the ongoing investigations into the alleged excise policy scam.

As the case unfolds, all eyes are on the court proceedings, with stakeholders closely monitoring developments and anticipating the eventual resolution of this high-profile legal battle.
