Overview
- The Supreme Court ruled that Manish Sisodia no longer needs to report to investigators every Monday and Thursday as part of his bail conditions in the Delhi excise policy case.
- The court emphasized the importance of the right to a speedy trial, noting that Sisodia had been incarcerated for 17 months without the trial commencing.
- Sisodia's legal team argued that he had already appeared before investigators 60 times and that the reporting requirement was unnecessary.
- The Supreme Court had granted Sisodia bail in August 2024, citing the extensive evidence and witness list, which made a swift trial unlikely.
- Sisodia remains required to attend all trial hearings and has surrendered his passport as part of the bail conditions.
