The Supreme Court will pronounce judgment tomorrow on the bail plea of former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party leader Manish Sisodia in relation to the liquor policy case.
A bench comprising Justices BR Gavai and KV Viswanathan reserved judgment on August 6. The judgment will be pronounced by Justice Gavai.
Sisodia has filed petitions seeking bail in the cases registered by the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Directorate of Enforcement under the Prevention of Corruption Act and the Prevention of Money Laundering Act respectively.
Sisodia has moved the Supreme Court assailing the Delhi High Court order dated May 21 whereby his second bail plea was rejected. He is seeking bail in the cases filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Directorate of Enforcement under the Prevention of Corruption Act and the Prevention of Money Laundering Act respectively, in relation to the alleged liquor policy scam. He was first arrested by CBI and ED on February 26 and March 9 last year, respectively.
In October last year, the Supreme Court had dismissed his plea, but allowed him to apply for bail afresh if there was no progress in the trial in three months. His subsequent bail applications filed in the trial court were dismissed. The Delhi High Court also refused him relief, following which he approached the Supreme Court.
On June 4, the Supreme Court had disposed of Sisodia's earlier bail plea after taking on record an assurance given by Solicitor General of India that the chargesheet/prosecution complaint in the liquor policy case would be filed on or before July 3, 2024. At the same time, the Court granted Sisodia liberty to revive his prayers for bail after the final complaint/chargesheet was filed.
