Manish Sisodia granted bail in Delhi liquor policy case
Nearly 18 months after the former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister was detained by the CBI in connection with an alleged liquor policy case, Manish Sisodia was granted bail by the Supreme Court on Friday morning.
On February 26, 2023, the CBI detained Mr. Sisodia; less than two weeks later, the Enforcement Directorate also took him into custody. After an upset Supreme Court ruled that he could not remain in jail indefinitely while the prosecution works toward an uncertain trial date, he was now given bail in both cases.
The court delivered a strong ruling, stating that he should have a “speedy trial” and that a refusal at this point would compel him to climb the system again. The Supreme Court remarked, “It would be like making him play snakes and ladders.” “In a matter pertaining to the life and liberty of a citizen – which is one of the most sacrosanct rights guaranteed by the Constitution – a citizen cannot be made to run from pillar to post,” the court stated.
A court made up of Justices BR Gavai and KV Viswanathan further declared that the Aam Aadmi Party leader’s fundamental rights will be violated by holding him in custody for a “unlimited time” without a trial.
Jail Is An Exception, Bail Is The Rule.” The High Court and Trial Court should have given this the appropriate consideration. It has slipped the minds of judges that refusing bail is not appropriate punishment. The court stated, “Primary bail is the rule, and jail is an exception,” admitting that the lengthy detention was unsustainable.
Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha posted on X- , “the entire country is happy today as Manish Sisodia, hero of the Delhi education revolution, got bail.”
