While remanding Sisodia to 5 days police custody, the Judge MK Nagpal has said Sisodia will also be allowed to meet his lawyers every day for half an hour between 6pm and 7pm. #manishsisodia#DelhiExcisePolicy
The court notes that while Sisodia cannot be expected to make self-incriminating statement but the interests of justice and of a fair investigation require that he should come up with some legitimate answers to the questions posed to him. #manishsisodia#DelhiExcisePolicy
The judge said Sisodia's subordinates have disclosed certain facts against him and some documentary evidence has also surfaced against him.
"...a proper and fair investigation requires that some genuine and legitimate answers to the questions being put to him about the same are to be found and hence, in considered opinion of this court, this can only be done during custodial interrogation of the accused".
