A Delhi court has extended the judicial custody of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders Manish Sisodia and Sanjay Singh until March 7th in connection with the Delhi Excise Policy case.
Key Points:
- Sisodia, former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister, and Singh, AAP MP, were produced before the Rouse Avenue Court on Saturday.
- Their previous judicial custody period had expired.
- The court order extending their custody to March 7th is pending detailed elaboration.
Background:
- Sisodia and Singh are being investigated by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the Delhi Excise Policy case.
- Sisodia had filed a regular bail plea, which the court reserved its decision on in January due to a pending curative petition before the Supreme Court.
- The ED argued that Sisodia's bail plea should be on hold until the Supreme Court decides on his curative petition.
- Sisodia's lawyer argued that seeking relief from multiple courts simultaneously is not prohibited and urged the court to proceed with the bail plea.
- Sisodia was recently granted a three-day interim bail to attend a family wedding.
Additional Information:
- The Delhi Excise Policy case is being investigated by both the ED and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
- The case involves alleged irregularities in the formulation and implementation of Delhi's excise policy, which was subsequently withdrawn by the AAP government.
It is important to note that:
- This is an ongoing case, and no charges have been proven against the accused.
- Both Sisodia and Singh maintain their innocence.
