National Desk, 20th April: Delhi’s political landscape witnessed a legal twist as Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Manish Sisodia withdrew his plea for interim bail from the Rouse Avenue Court. Sisodia’s decision to withdraw the plea, specifically aimed at facilitating his ongoing election campaign activities, adds a new dimension to the legal saga surrounding him.
The move comes amidst staunch opposition from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) against Sisodia’s regular bail application, citing his alleged role as the mastermind in the case under investigation. The case revolves around matters related to the Delhi Excise policy, with both the CBI and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) actively involved in legal proceedings.
While Sisodia’s bail pleas, both interim and regular, have been subject to intense scrutiny amid ongoing investigations, the recent development sees him prioritizing his electoral commitments over legal proceedings. However, the CBI’s steadfast opposition to his regular bail application underscores the legal intricacies at play.
With the Rouse Avenue court reserving its order on Sisodia’s bail pleas, the stage is set for a pivotal decision on April 30, shaping the trajectory of the legal battle surrounding the AAP leader.
