Supreme Court deleted bail condition imposed on Sisodia in Delhi Excise Policy case
Reportedly in a huge relief to aam aadmi party (AAP) leader Manish Sisodia, the supreme court on wednesday deleted the bail condition imposed on him in the delhi Excise Policy case mandating him to appear before investigating agencies Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Central Bureau Of Investigation (CBI) twice a week. Ahead of the delhi polls, a bench of Justices BR Gavai and KV Viswanathan relaxed the conditions, saying they were not necessary.Meanwhile “The petitioner shall regularly attend the trial," the bench was quoted as saying by news agency PTI. The development comes hours after AAP chief arvind kejriwal said his party will fight the 2025 delhi assembly polls alone. The apex court on november 22 agreed to hear the former delhi Deputy Chief Minister’s pleas and issued notices to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) seeking their responses on the applications.Moreover the top court had directed him to furnish a bail bond of Rs 10 lakh with two sureties of the like amount. It had directed that Sisodia shall surrender his passport with the special court and not make any attempt either to influence the witnesses or to tamper with the evidence. The apex court had set aside the May 21 verdict of the delhi High court, which had dismissed Sisodia’s pleas seeking bail in both these cases. The ED and the cbi had opposed his bail pleas.
