Supreme Court to Hear Manish Sisodia’s Bail Plea in Excise Policy Case

A new bench of the Supreme Court will hear AAP leader Manish Sisodia’s petition seeking to revive his bail plea in the excise policy case. The matter will be heard by Justices BR Gavai, Sanjay Karol, and KV Viswanathan.

On July 11, Justice Sanjay Kumar recused himself from the case, leading to the formation of a new bench. Sisodia, the former Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi, was arrested in February 2023 for alleged irregularities in the excise policy, which has since been scrapped.

The Supreme Court had previously allowed Sisodia to revive his plea after the final charge sheet was filed. The case will now proceed with the new bench.
