SC seeks ED’s reply to AAP leader Sanjay Singh’s bail plea in Delhi excise policy ‘scam’ case
PTI, Feb 26, 2024, 11:41 AM IST
The Supreme Court sought the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) response on Monday on a bail plea moved by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Sanjay Singh in a money-laundering case related to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam.
A bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta issued a notice to the federal agency on the plea, in which Singh has challenged the Delhi High Court order that refused to grant bail to him in the case.
The bench tagged the bail plea along with another plea of Singh, in which he has challenged his arrest and remand in the money-laundering case.
Senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi, appearing in the court on behalf of Singh, sought the issuance of a notice on the bail plea and requested for tagging the plea along with the pending matter.
He said the pending matter is scheduled to come up for hearing on March 5 and therefore, both the matters should be taken up together.
The bench agreed to the request and said both the pleas will be taken up together.
The high court had, on February 7, rejected the bail application of Singh, who has been re-elected to the Rajya Sabha from Delhi, but directed the trial court to expedite the trial once it starts.
Singh was arrested in the case by the ED on October 4, 2023.
