Delhi high court denies bail to Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Manish Sisodia in cases related to the alleged irregularities in the Delhi excise policy. The Delhi Court said that former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister and AAP leader Manish Sisodia was a very powerful, influential person within power corridors of Delhi government.
The Court said there was no delay on the part of the prosecution to present the documents and trial court to frame the charge against Manish Sisodia.
The Delhi HC said Manish Sisodia allegedly indulged in destruction of crucial evidence, including electronic evidence. The possibility of Sisodia influencing material witnesses cannot be ruled out, the court said.
“Material collected showed Sisodia subverted process of excise policy by fabricating public feedback to suit his predetermined goal”, said Delhi HC.
“This court is of the view that there has been no delay on part of the prosecution to supply the documents & on the part of the trial court regarding argument on charge. It is not the fault of ED, CBI and the trial court that there was voluminous record of investigation,” the court said.
