Delhi/Hyderabad, Oct 17 (Hydnow): The Supreme Court on Tuesday reserved its judgment on the regular bail petitions filed by former deputy Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Manish Sisodia in connection with corruption and money laundering cases arising out of the alleged scam in Delhi excise policy.

A bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and SVN Bhatti finished hearing the arguments by Senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi appearing for the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED).

It may be recalled that yesterday the Supreme Court told the CB and ED that they cannot keep Sisodia in jail for an “indefinite period” in the Delhi Excise Policy cases and asked the ASG about when the arguments on charges against will commence in the trial court.

“Once a charge sheet is filed in a case, arguments on charge should commence immediately, the bench told Raju.

The ASG submitted that the cases against Sisodia were at the stage of section 207 of CrPC (supply of documents to the accused) and after that, the arguments on charge will start.

The ASG also claimed that there was sufficient material to show the offense of money laundering and tampering with evidence by destroying his mobile phones and thus were sufficient grounds to deny bail. (Hydnow)
