Excise policy case | Delhi court extends judicial custody of Manish Sisodia till May 15

Special Judge for CBI and ED Kaveri Baweja also extended the judicial custody of co-accused Chanpreet Singh till May 20.

The order coincided with the hearing in the Supreme Court on Arvind Kejriwal's challenge to his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate in the liquor policy case. The two-judge bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta had expressed that it might consider the question of interim bail for Kejriwal.

The court said that Arvind Kejriwal is the elected chief minister of Delhi and the current circumstances are extraordinary, given the ongoing Lok Sabha elections.
