The Rouse Avenue court on Tuesday has reserved an order on the bail plea of AAP MP Sanjay Singh in the Delhi Excise policy money laundering case.
He has been in ED custody since 4 October.
Special judge MK Nagpal reserved the order after hearing rebuttal arguments on the bail plea of Sanjay Singh and reserved the order.
The court asked the Enforcement Directorate to file written submissions, if any, within 2 working days. The accused has also been asked to file a rejoinder within a day thereafter.
However, the court will pronounce the order on 21 December at 4 pm.
Senior advocate Mohit Mathur appeared for Sanjay Singh.
He submitted that Sanjay Singh wasn’t called even once for questioning before 4 October, 2023.
He further argued, “My (Singh’s) legal notice sparked problems for them. Then they started noticing me.”
The Senior advocate submitted, “I am not asking for discharge. I am asking for bail. My personal liberty is sacrosanct in the Constitution.”
He also raised contradictions in the statement of accused turn approver Dinesh Arora, Chandan Reddy and other witnesses.
He submitted that Dinesh Arora’s statement is hearsay. Now he has a pseudo-name Alpha. How can one assume that Dinesh Arora is telling the truth?
