SC Gets Bansuri Swaraj's Name Deleted From Sanjay Singh's Bail Order
The SC ordered the deletion of advocate Bansuri Swaraj's name from its order of granting bail to AAP leader Sanjay Singh after the ED said her name got added to the list due to an "inadvertent error".
The Supreme Court on Wednesday ordered the deletion of advocate Bansuri Swaraj's name from its order of granting bail to AAP leader Sanjay Singh after the Enforcement Directorate said her name got added to the list due to an "inadvertent error".
A bench headed by Justice Sanjiv Khanna said, "Ok, we will correct the order." Advocate Zoheb Hussain, appearing for the ED, said Swaraj did not appear in the case nor did she represent the agency in the matter.
"Due to some inadvertent error her name is reflected in the appearance slip," Hussain said.
Bansuri Swaraj is a BJP candidate from the New Delhi parliamentary constituency.
