The Rouse Avenue court in Delhi has dismissed the second regular bail application of AAP leader Manish Sisodia in connection with the Delhi Excise policy case. This decision comes after opposition to his bail plea by both the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
Sisodia’s bail plea was based on the grounds of trial delay. However, the court upheld the opposition’s arguments and denied bail to the AAP leader. This marks the second time his bail application has been rejected, following a similar decision by the court last year.
Since February 2023, Manish Sisodia has been in custody in relation to the case. The Delhi Excise policy case has been a matter of legal scrutiny, and Sisodia’s prolonged detention underscores the complexities involved in the legal proceedings.
The court’s decision reflects the gravity of the charges against Sisodia and the legal considerations involved in such cases. The opposition from investigative agencies such as the CBI and ED further indicates the serious nature of the allegations against the AAP leader.
Manish Sisodia’s legal team is expected to explore further legal avenues in light of the recent bail rejection. The case continues to be closely monitored by legal experts and political observers, given its implications on the political landscape in Delhi.
