Court Extends Judicial Custody of AAP Leaders Sanjay Singh and Manish Sisodia in Delhi Excise Policy Case Until March 7

A Delhi court has extended the judicial custody of former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and AAP MP Sanjay Singh in the excise policy case by five days. Special Judge MK Nagpal of the Rouse Avenue Court made the decision, and the two will now remain in jail until March 7 as the case is being investigated by the ED.

A detailed order is awaited. On January 17, the court reserved its decision on whether to consider Sisodia’s regular bail plea in the case, given his pending curative petition before the Supreme Court, following arguments from both the ED and Sisodia’s legal representatives. In the previous hearing, the ED argued against entertaining Sisodia’s regular bail application while his curative petition is pending before the top court.

Special counsel Zoheb Hossain contended that seeking relief simultaneously from two forums is impermissible under legal discipline, urging the trial court to await the disposal of the curative petition. In response, senior advocate Mohit Mathur, representing Sisodia, questioned the rationale behind withholding the bail plea until the outcome of the curative petition.

He cited precedents from the coal scam cases where trial proceedings continued despite pending Special Leave Petitions in the Supreme Court. Recently, the court granted Sisodia three-day interim bail to attend his niece’s wedding. The excise policy case is being investigated by both the ED and the CBI.
