NEW DELHI: According to an insider, former Delhi Deputy minister Manish Sisodia will the SC against the Delhi HC order rejecting his bail plea.
A single-judge bench of Justice Dinesh Kumar Sharma, while dismissing the bail plea, said allegations against Manish Sisodia are serious. The HC mentioned that Mr Sisodia is an influential man and the possibility that witnesses could be influenced if he is released on bail cannot be ruled out.
The CBI opposing the bail argued that the applicant (Mr Sisodia) enjoys close nexus with the executive, offices and bureaucrats and his influence and clout is evident. His party colleagues holding high ranks continue to make factually wrong claims in order to influence the investigation and also claim the applicant to be a victim of a political vendetta,”
“The statements also undermine the authority of the Special Judge (CBI), having already taken cognizance of the offences, and are being made to adversely impact the investigation by levelling unwarranted and unsubstantiated allegations against the CBI, thereby influencing and deterring the witnesses of the case,” it added.
Sisodia has been named in a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) case on the alleged scam in the national capital’s liquor policy. He was arrested on February 26th by CBI first and later by ED in alleged irregularities in the liquor policy scam in the national capital.
