Delhi High Court denies interim bail to AAP’s Manish Sisodia in excise policy case

New Delhi, 5/6: The Delhi High Court Monday denied interim bail to former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister and senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Manish Sisodia.

 

 

The Court, however, allowed Sisodia to visit his wife between 10 am and 5 pm on a convenient day.

 

“This Court finds itself very hard to persuade to grant bail to Manish Sisodia. However, we direct that he (Manish Sisodia) be taken to the residence or the hospital where Mrs Sisodia is. He be taken to the hospital/residence between 10 am and 5 pm,” the Court ordered.

 

During this period, the petitioner shall not interact with anyone else except his family members, the Court added.

 

“The Delhi Police is direct to ensure that there is no media gathering where Sisodia goes to meet his wife. He shall not use the mobile phone or internet,” the order said.

 

The Court also directed that Sisodia’s wife be granted the best possible medical treatment.

 

“This court would direct that best treatment should be provided to Mrs Sisodia. This Court would suggest that Mrs Sisodia be examined by a medical board constituted by the AIIMS,” the Court directed.
