Manish Sisodia Files Petition In Delhi High Court Over Liquor Policy Scam

Manish Sisodia, a former deputy chief minister of Delhi who was detained in Tihar Jail for Delhi Liquor Policy case, has filed an application with Delhi High Court. On May 3, Delhi High Court will consider Manish Sisodia’s bail request.

In Delhi High Court, Manish Sisodia has challenged the lower court’s order to deny bail. In Rouse Avenue Court, Manish Sisodia had denied the second bail request. While denying the bail plea in the CBI and ED case the court stated that Manish Sisodia, the petitioner, and the other accused have been submitting applications and making oral requests to the court one after the other of which a large number were submitted needlessly.

They appear to be trying to put this off together. This is the reason it is impossible to trust Manish Sisodia’s claim that the case’s judicial proceedings are moving very slowly. As per the court ruling, 135 applications have been filed in total by the various accused parties in this case up to this point.

The CBI had contested Manish Sisodia’s bail application during the case’s hearing. His CBI attorney had stated that he wasn’t worthy of bail because the court has referred to him as the case’s mastermind. The CBI has warned that more probe could sway the witnesses if Sisodia was granted bail. Sisodia is the scam’s mastermind, according to the CBI.

According to CBI, we have mentioned this about him repeatedly: he is a kingpin. Because a policy was developed that favored some wholesalers, the ED said that the offense was extremely serious. The regulation was only withdrawn due to an investigation, and the new policy regarding alcohol use as a way of making unlawful profits was implemented. According to ED, the expert committee’s study recommended giving a part of wholesale market to the government.

This issue and rationale behind awarding private corporations the wholesale market were not discussed. According to ED, all of the co-accused attended a meeting with the South Group at the Oberoi Hotel. Currently, a few of them serve as government witnesses. Manish Sisodia was taken into custody by the CBI on February 26, 2023, in connection with money laundering in alleged excise policy scam in Delhi. Following this, on March 9, he was taken into jail by the ED.
