The Hindu  

Supreme Court judge Justice Sanjay Kumar on July 11 recused from hearing pleas of AAP leader and former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia by which his bail petitions has been sought to be revived in the excise policy scam cases. A Bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna, Sanjay Karol and Sanjay Kumar said another Bench in which Justice Kumar is not a member will take up Mr. Sisodia’s two separate pleas for reviving his bail petitions in cases filed by the Enforcement Directorate and Central Bureau of Investigation in the excise policy scam case. On June 4, the Supreme Court had refused to entertain the bail pleas of Mr. Sisodia in cases lodged by the CBI and the ED in connection with the alleged Delhi liquor policy scam. On October 30, 2023, the Supreme Court had denied him bail in the corruption and money laundering cases related to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam, saying the accusation of “windfall gains” of ₹338 crore to wholesale liquor dealers was “tentatively supported” by evidence.
