Court permits Sanjay Singh to collect Rajya Sabha election certificate

Delhi’s Rouse Avenue court on Wednesday directed the jail authorities to take Sanjay Singh to the Returning Officer’s (RO) office on January 12 to receive the election certificate with appropriate security.
Singh had submitted his nomination for the Rajya Sabha elections on January 8, 2024.
It is to be noted that AAP MP Sanjay Singh and former Deputy CM of Delhi Manish Sisodia were presented before the court from judicial custody.
The Rouse Avenue court provided interim bail to Sarvesh Mishra until the disposal of his regular bail application. Mishra is facing charges along with Sanjay Singh in the Delhi Excise Policy money laundering case. Simultaneously, the court extended the judicial custody of AAP MP Sanjay Singh and former Deputy CM Manish Sisodia until January 20, 2024.
Special Judge MK Nagpal granted interim bail to Sarvesh Mishra upon furnishing a bail bond of Rs 1 lakh and one surety in the same amount. The court granted time to the Investigating Officer (IO) to submit a reply on Sarvesh Mishra’s bail application. Mishra, summoned to appear before the court, couldn’t do so due to his father’s hospitalization, who is battling cancer. The court permitted his application for exemption for today only, and he was charge-sheeted without arrest. The court also directed the prison authorities to sympathetically consider Sanjay Singh’s application, requesting a directive to provide him with a table and chair and allow him to carry some books in judicial custody. Additionally, the court instructed the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to submit a fresh list of unrelied documents related to the case.
AAP MP Sanjay Singh and Sarvesh Mishra face arrest and have been charged in the Delhi Excise Policy money laundering case. On December 19, the court took cognizance of the supplementary prosecution complaint (charge sheet) against AAP MP Sanjay Singh and his associate, Sarvesh Mishra.
