Former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia has moved the Supreme Court seeking a review of its decision to dismiss his bail plea in the liquor policy ‘scam’ case.
A Bench headed by Justice Sanjiv Khanna, while denying bail in a judgment on October 30, had however upheld Mr. Sisodia’s right to a speedy trial. It had noted that the prosecution had already assured the court that the trial would be concluded in six to eight months.
The apex court had also said that Mr. Sisodia could file another bail application if the trial was seen to proceed “sloppily” in the following three months. The court had further given Mr. Sisodia liberty to file an application for interim bail in case of ill-health and medical emergency of his wife.
