Jailed Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader, Manish Sisodia, has taken legal action by filing petitions in the Supreme Court challenging the denial of bail in 2023, pertaining to corruption and money laundering cases linked to the alleged Delhi Excise Policy Scam. Sisodia, along with two colleagues, seeks an early hearing for their petitions, as disclosed by senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi before the bench led by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud.
In the application, Singhvi emphasized that Sisodia has spent a year behind bars, urging an immediate listing of his petitions. The move signifies a significant legal maneuver in Sisodia’s defense against the allegations surrounding the Delhi Excise Policy Scam.
The corruption and money laundering cases have been a focal point of contention, with Sisodia vehemently challenging the denial of bail. The AAP leader’s legal team is gearing up for a thorough presentation, aiming to secure a favorable outcome in the apex court.
As the legal battle unfolds, the early hearing request adds urgency to the proceedings, bringing attention to the complex web of allegations and defenses in one of the prominent cases involving a key political figure. The Supreme Court’s decision on the plea for an early hearing will be closely monitored, impacting the trajectory of Sisodia’s legal challenge and potential implications for the larger political landscape.
