Manish Sisodia Granted Bail by Supreme Court: AAP Celebrates Victory
New Delhi, India, August 9 – The Supreme Court has granted bail to Manish Sisodia, a senior leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). This decision has brought immense joy and relief to the party and its supporters.
AAP’s Reaction
AAP MP Sanjay Singh expressed his happiness, calling it a victory of truth. He stated, “This is the victory of truth. As I have said earlier, there is no truth/evidence in this case. Our leaders were forcibly put in jail. Manish Sisodia was kept in jail for 17 months… I thank the Supreme Court that we got justice and the decision has come in favour of AAP and every worker is excited. I pray to God that Arvind Kejriwal and Satyendra Jain also come out of jail soon. This is a slap on the dictatorship of the central government.”
He further added, “This is a big relief for the Aam Aadmi Party and the people of Delhi. Now the path to justice will open soon for Arvind Kejriwal and Satyendra Jain. Will the Prime Minister of the country give an account of the 17 months of Manish Sisodia’s life that were wasted? Not even a single rupee was recovered from Manish Sisodia’s house…This is a very big relief for the workers of the Aam Aadmi Party and everything will be good and soon our two other leaders will also come out.”
Legal Perspective
Rishikesh Kumar, the advocate representing Manish Sisodia, explained the court’s decision. He said, “The court has said that if you have the evidence then there is no case of tampering. If you have kept him in jail for so long, it’s against the principles of bail. Be it the case of ED or section 45, the cardinal rule of bail is applied there. And keeping this in mind, that Manish Sisodia has already been in jail for 17 months, the Supreme Court dismissed all the pleas of ED and granted him bail. The Court has also said that the statement of ED in court that trial will end in 6-8 months, it doesn’t seem it will…”
Reactions from Other Leaders
Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav congratulated Manish Sisodia, saying, “Bahut badhayi.” Congress MP Manickam Tagore commented on the misuse of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) by the BJP, stating, “We all know that ED has been misused by BJP for a long time. They are using it as a political tool to silence the opposition. Manish Sisodia’s release has shown that the legal system has taken a long time to give justice to him.”

Meanwhile, sweets are being distributed at the residence of Sanjay Singh as Manish Sisodia gets bail.
