Sisodia’s lawyer emphasized that the AAP leader had appeared before the investigating officers 60 times. Singhvi argued that Sisodia, a respected public figure, should not be subjected to such strict conditions. Similar conditions were imposed on other accused in the case, he added.

The Supreme Court had granted Manish Sisodia bail on August 9, 2023, in both the CBI and ED cases. The court set bail at Rs 10 lakh personal bonds and ordered Sisodia to appear before investigating officers every Monday and Thursday. The court noted that Sisodia had been in jail for 17 months without a trial. Additionally, Court added delay trial deprived him of his right to a speedy trial.

Sisodia was arrested by the CBI on February 26, 2023, and by the ED on March 9, 2023, in connection with the corruption and money laundering charges related to the Delhi Excise Policy Scam.
