Last week, the former deputy chief minister, Manish Sisodia, moved a plea in Delhi High Court challenging the trial court order denying bail to him in the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) case.
The bench of Justice Dinesh Kumar Sharma sought a response from CBI on Manish Sisodia's plea and listed it for April 20, 2023, for the next hearing.
Sisodia was arrested by the CBI on February 26, 2023, and is presently in Judicial custody. His bail plea was on March 31, 2023, by the trial Court in the case.
The trial court dismissed Sisodia's bail plea and said that it wasn’t inclined to release him on bail at the stage of the investigation as his release may adversely affect the investigation and hamper the progress.
According to the CBI, Sisodia had played the most important and vital role in the criminal conspiracy and he had been deeply involved in the formulation as well as the implementation of the said policy to ensure the achievement of the objectives of the said conspiracy.
Sisodia also stated that he joined the investigation as and when called for by the CBI. The other accused persons arrested in this case have already been granted bail, Sisodia noted further, adding that he held the important constitutional post of deputy CM of Delhi and has deep roots in the society.
However, Sisodia later tendered his resignation as deputy CM in light of his arrest in the liquor policy case.
