The Supreme Court today issued notice on the petitions filed by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia seeking bail in the cases registered by the CBI and ED in connection with the alleged Delhi liquor policy scam.

A bench comprising Justices Sanjiv Khanna, Bela M Trivedi and Ujjal Bhuyan also issued notice on the application filed by Sisodia seeking interim bail to allow him to meet his wife who is suffering from illness. The Court will consider the plea for interim bail on July 28. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader has been in custody since February 26 of this year.

The bench was hearing two petitions filed by Sisodia challenging the decisions of the Delhi High Court to deny Sisodia bail in the cases being investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Directorate of Enforcement (ED). While CBI is probing the allegations under the Prevention of Corruption Act, ED is handling the money laundering case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
