Supreme Court Grants Bail to Manish Sisodia After 17 Months

Top court criticizes lower courts for prolonged incarceration without trial in Delhi liquor policy case.

• Manish Sisodia was arrested in February 2023 by the CBI and later by the ED in the Delhi liquor policy case.
• The Supreme Court emphasized the violation of Sisodia's right to a speedy trial, calling his detention a 'travesty of justice.'
• AAP leaders hailed the decision as a victory of truth, while BJP cautioned that bail does not equate to exoneration.
• The court imposed conditions on Sisodia's bail, including surrendering his passport and reporting to the Investigating Officer weekly.
• The ruling may have implications for other AAP leaders, including Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who remains in jail on related charges.
