Supreme Court Grants Bail to Manish Sisodia in Delhi Excise Policy Case

AAP leader Manish Sisodia has been granted bail by the Supreme Court in the Delhi excise policy case. However, BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj emphasized that this procedural order does not absolve Sisodia of the alleged offences. Sisodia has been in custody for 17 months, and the trial has not yet commenced.

AAP leader Manish Sisodia has been granted bail by the Supreme Court in a significant development related to the Delhi excise policy case. While the verdict offers some relief to Sisodia, BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj clarified it is merely a procedural order and does not absolve him of the alleged offences.

The apex court noted that Sisodia has been in custody for 17 months without the commencement of the trial, thereby granting the bail. The delay in the judicial process was a key factor highlighted by Sisodia's legal team.

BJP's Bansuri Swaraj reiterated that the party believes AAP is involved in corruption and that accountability will eventually be established. She pointed out that Sisodia’s bail had been previously rejected seven times and asserted that this current bail was granted due to the delay in the trial and not a consideration of merit.
