SC seeks ED, CBI responses on Sisodia plea to tweak bail terms

The Supreme Court on Friday sought the response of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on a plea filed by former Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia seeking a modification in his bail conditions so that he does not have to appear before the investigating officer (IO) twice a week.

Issuing notice on the application moved by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader, a bench of justices Bhushan R Gavai and KV Viswanathan posted the matter for early December. Sisodia was granted bail on August 9 in the Delhi excise policy case.

Senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, appearing for Sisodia along with advocate Vivek Jain, pointed out that since the grant of bail by the top court on August 9, Sisodia had appeared 60 times before the IO. Besides, he attended the trial on all 18 dates showing full compliance with the order of bail passed by the top court.
