Excise policy cases: SC to hear AAP leader Manish Sisodia's bail pleas on Monday

The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear on Monday Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Manish Sisodia’s bail pleas in corruption and money laundering cases linked to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam.

The former deputy chief minister of Delhi has sought bail contending that he has been in custody for 16 months and the trial against him has not made any progress since October last year.

According to the cause list of July 29 uploaded on the Supreme Court website, a bench of Justices B R Gavai and K V Viswanathan is slated to hear Sisodia’s pleas.
