#SupremeCourt hears matter pertaining to statements made against a judicial officer.
Justice Bela Trivedi: You cannot malign the judiciary like this. Independence of judiciary doesn't just mean independence from executive but also from outside forces.
Advocate Akshay Sapre: He is extending an unconditional apology. Let him not be arrested. It's about a man's liberty. He is a common man running a temple.
"The allegations are very serious in nature that the excise policy was formed at the instance of South Group with mala fide intention to give undue advantage to them": Justice Dinesh Kumar Sharma. #Manishsisodia
"Such a conduct points towards the misconduct of the applicant who was admittedly a public servant and was holding a very high position," Justice Sharma said.
Delhi High Court will today pronounce its decision on the bail plea of #AamAadmiParty leader and former Deputy Chief Minister #ManishSisodia in the CBI case alleging corruption in implementation of excise policy for 2021-22.
Justice Dinesh Kumar Sharma had reserved the order on May 11. Sisodia is currently in judicial custody in the cases registered by the CBI and ED. He was denied bail by the special judge in CBI case on March 31. He was later denied bail in the ED case also by the trial court.
The judgement is expected to be pronounced at 10:30 am. Sisodia had argued that no evidence of money trail has been found from him by CBI in the alleged liquor policy scam case and that the allegations against him are “in the realm of likelihood.”
“The Constitution as adopted on 26th of November, 1949 served as a pledge that the citizens of India made to themselves. A pledge to disassociate ourselves from the parochial notions of society that prevented the ushering of equality,” #DelhiHighCourt#MaternityLeave
Court: It was without any form of equivocation that the people asserted their right to be treated equally. Irrespective of gender, race, religion or caste, citizens were to claim their opportunities.
