Results for: Bail Denied

The Delhi High Court has denied bail to Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia in connection with alleged irregularities in the Delhi excise policy. The court held that Sisodia, being a powerful and influential figure within the Delhi government, could potentially influence material witnesses and tamper with evidence, including electronic evidence. The court further noted that there was no delay on the part of the prosecution or the trial court in presenting documents and framing charges against Sisodia. Sisodia’s bail pleas in the corruption and money laundering cases filed by the CBI and ED, respectively, had been rejected by a trial court on April 30. The ED had arrested Sisodia in March last year, while the CBI arrested him earlier in the alleged liquor scam.

Fugitive businessman Nirav Modi’s latest bail application was denied by a UK judge on Tuesday. The judge ruled that Modi, who is accused of fraud and money laundering in India, continues to pose a significant flight risk. Modi has been in prison in London for over five years. He failed in his extradition battle to face the charges in India and has made numerous bail attempts over the years, all of which have been unsuccessful. The judge acknowledged that Modi’s mental health has deteriorated due to his extended incarceration, but he noted that this did not outweigh the risk of absconding. The prosecution emphasized that Modi remains at the heart of the fraud allegations and highlighted his substantial resources and previous attempts to evade justice.
