It is listed as item 7.

#RahulGandhi #GujaratHighCourt #defamationcase #modisurname
Senior Advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi appears for Rahul Gandhi.

Manish Sisodia was the main architect and the brain behind the criminal conspiracy, Delhi court observes while denying him bail in the money laundering case related to the Delhi excise policy scam.

#ManishSisodia #RouseAvenueCourt #ED #MoneyLaundering Image
Special CBI Judge MK Nagpal holds that Sisodia was responsible for changing the eligibility criteria of the wholesalers and their profit margins and this was done without any discussions/deliberations in the Group of Ministers (GoM).
"It further emerges out from the above that this applicant was responsible for changing the GoM report unilaterally to suit the requirements of South lobby," the court said.
