Excise policy case: SC grants bail to Manish Sisodia, says speedy trial denied

Hindustan Times  

The Supreme Court on Friday granted bail to former Delhi deputy chief minister and Aam Aadmi Party leader Manish Sisodia in both cases related to alleged irregularities in the now-scrapped 2021-22 excise policy, saying keeping him behind bars in the hope of a speedy trial will deprive him of his fundamental right. The Supreme Court set aside the trial court and the Delhi high court’s orders rejecting bail to Sisodia by attributing the delay in the trial to his frivolous applications and noting the gravity of the crime. “Keeping the appellant behind bars in the hope that there will be speedy trial will be depriving the appellant of his fundamental rights.” The Supreme Court found no merit in the submission of the ED and CBI that Sisodia was responsible for the delay by moving frivolous applications. In October 2023, the Supreme Court refused to grant Sisodia bail but allowed him to revive his plea if the trial did not conclude in the next six to eight months or proceeded at a snail’s pace.
