The Supreme Court has granted bail to Manish Sisodia, former Delhi deputy chief minister, while reprimanding lower courts for denying him speedy justice through prolonged incarceration without trial. The court ruled that delayed trials and extended detention constitute valid grounds for granting bail in money laundering cases, despite strict conditions outlined in the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
Sisodia's arrest by the CBI on February 26, 2023, and subsequent arrest by the Enforcement Directorate on March 9, 2023, stemmed from alleged irregularities in the Delhi excise policy for 2021-22 and related money laundering investigations, leading to his resignation from the Delhi cabinet on February 28, 2023.
