Sisodia was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on February 26 for his alleged role in the "scam". It had told the federal agency that it cannot go on assumptions of bribe being paid and whatever protection is there under law, needs to be granted. On October 17, the top court told the Enforcement Directorate (ED) that if a bribe that was allegedly paid for tweaking the Delhi excise policy is not part of the predicate offence, it would be difficult to prove the money-laundering case against Sisodia. The Supreme Court is scheduled to pronounce its verdict on Monday on two separate regular bail pleas of former Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia in corruption and money-laundering cases related to the now-scrapped excise policy for the national capital.Ī bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and S V N Bhatti, which had reserved its verdict on October 17 on both the pleas, will pronounce it.
