AAP leader Manish Sisodia and former deputy chief minister seeking bail in the money laundering case arising out of the Excise Policy scam.
Hearing the case, justice Dinesh Kumar Sharma issued notice to ED on Sisodia’s interim application for bail on account of his wife’s illness.
The court gave one week to ED to file its response on the bail plea and posted the matter for hearing on May 11.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader was arrested on February 26 by the CBI.
Subsequently, on March 9, he was arrested by ED over money laundering charges. Last week, the trial court had rejected Sisodia’s bail plea in the ED case.
While arguing in the trial court seeking bail, Sisodia contended that no offence under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) is made out as neither are there any allegations nor is there any material evidence to show that Sisodia acquired, concealed, or used the proceeds of crime.
