Delhi Excise Scam: July 14 Supreme Court hearing of Manish Sisodia’s bail request.

The bail petition that was submitted for the former Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi, Manish Sisodia, who was detained in connection with the Delhi Excise Scam case, will be heard by the Supreme Court on 14 July.

On Monday, Senior Advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi requested that the petition be given urgent listing in front of Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud.

“His wife has been sick for a while. If it’s possible to have it on the 14th of July,” Singhvi stated.

The CJI said, “List on July 14,” in its directive.

Sisodia, who is involved in the excise policy fraud case, filed a petition with the Supreme Court appealing a decision from the Delhi High Court that denied him bail in the charges that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) had lodged against him.

In the case brought by the ED, Sisodia was not granted bail by the Delhi High Court on July 3rd.

Before that, it had already turned down Sisodia’s request for bail in the CBI case that was connected to the same fraud.

It is alleged that officials of the Delhi government conspired to provide liquor licences to select businesses in exchange for bribery. The bribes were paid by the businesses themselves.

The argument put out by the central agencies is that the excise policy was adjusted, as well as the profit margins, in order to provide advantages to particular dealers, and that in exchange for these advantages, kickbacks were paid.

After the Delhi Lieutenant Governor (LG) VK Saxena suggested a CBI investigation based on a report by the Delhi Chief Secretary, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) both registered cases in relation to the alleged fraud. According to the investigation, Sisodia disobeyed several legislative obligations and failed to notify a policy that might have severe repercussions financially.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) initially did not name Sisodia as an accused party in the case when it initially submitted its chargesheet; however, it later filed an extra chargesheet that did designate Sisodia as an accused party.

Sisodia maintains that the policy, as well as the adjustments that were made to it, were given the green light by the LG, and that the CBI is now challenging the policy decisions of an elected administration.

According to Sisodia, no money has been tied to him, and the agencies are re-evaluating a liquor policy that was developed by the elected administration and authorised by the Lieutenant Governor (LG) of Delhi. Sisodia claims that the policy was formed by the elected government, and it was approved by the LG of Delhi.

In the judgement that denied Sisodia bail in the ED case, the High Court had stated that the charges against Sisodia are extremely severe and that the issue needs to be examined with a different perspective because it has been alleged that a deep-rooted conspiracy involved the large loss of public funds. Sisodia is accused of being involved in a scheme that resulted in a significant amount of money being stolen from the government.

It was said by Justice Dinesh Kumar Sharma that the excise policy case is a unique and strange case. In this case, it is alleged that the Deputy Chief Minister developed a policy at the request of certain foreigners who were going to be its benefactors. Justice Sharma stated that this case is both unique and peculiar.
