Delhi Deputy
Chief Minister Manish Sisodia Tuesday moved the Supreme Court seeking
bail in the excise policy case.
A bench headed by Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud took
note of the submissions of senior advocate A M Singhvi, appearing for Sisodia
who is presently in CBI's custody, and agreed to hear the plea today itself at
3.50 PM.
The top court initially observed that the jailed AAPleader
has remedies under Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) to move the Delhi High
Court for bail and seeking the quashing of the FIR.
A special Delhi court on Monday sent Sisodia to
five-day CBI remand in the excise policy case to allow the agency to get
"genuine and legitimate" answers to questions being put to him for
"a proper and fair investigation".
