SC TO RULE ON SISODIA'S BAIL PLEA TODAY

The Supreme Court will deliver on August 9, an order on AAP leader Manish Sisodia’s petition challenging the Delhi High Court order rejecting his bail plea in the excise policy irregularities cases.

- 

The order will be delivered tomorrow by a bench of justices BR Gavai and KV Viswanathan.

The court reserved the order on Sisodia’s plea this Tuesday after both of the sides concluded their arguments.

The top court was hearing the Sisodia appeal challenging the Delhi High Court order that dismissed his bail plea in the cases being probed by the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Enforcement Directorate.

Additional Solicitor General SV Raju, appearing for the probe agencies, had raised apprehension that witnesses may be influenced.

ASG Raju said that some important witnesses can be examined. He further added that these witnesses could be influenced. He also said that there is evidence that he has destroyed phone records.

ASG had blamed Sisodia for filing various miscellaneous applications related to the supply of unrelated documents. He also said that the trial could have proceeded irrespective of further investigation.
