The Delhi High Court has denied the bail plea of former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia in a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) case related to alleged corruption in the implementation of the previous liquor policy in the national capital.
Liquor Policy Scam
It is mentioned the order was pronounced by Justice Dinesh Kumar Sharma on May 30 and reserved the decision on May 11.
Justice Sharma said, ”The allegations are very serious in nature and that the excise policy was formed at the instance of South Group with mala fide intention to give undue advantage to them.”
”Such a conduct points towards the misconduct of the applicant who was admittedly a public servant and was holding a very high position,” he added.
The former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister is currently in judicial custody in connection to cases registered by the CBI and Enforcement Directorate (ED).
Sisodia was arrested by the CBI in the liquor policy case on February 26 and was sent to 14-day judicial custody on March 6.
