PM Modi Should Follow Constitution, Says Manish Sisodia

New Delhi [India]: Delhi’s former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Friday said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should follow the Constitution. He was responding to the questions of media in Rouse Avenue on the Supreme Court judgement on the power of the Delhi Government.

The Rouse Avenue Court on Friday extended the judicial custody of Manis Sisodia till June 2. The court has also kept the CBI charge sheet for consideration on the next date. The court has also extended the judicial custody of Amdandeep Dhall. The Delhi High court on Thursday reserved the order on the bail plea of Manish Sisodia in the CBI case.

Manish Sisodia was produced before special CBI Judge MK Nagpal in Liquor policy Sisodia was allowed to have a meeting with his counsel Irshad Khan.

After the hearing, he responded to the questions of media and said the constitution was insulted. PM Modi should follow the Constitution.

On the last date, Special Judge MK Nagpal while extending the Judicial Custody also directed CBI to supply an e-copy of the supplementary chargesheet filed by it on April 25, 2023, in the light of the Supreme Court passed by it yesterday.

Advocate Rishikesh appeared for Manish Sisodia had argued that on grounds of an incomplete chargesheet/incomplete investigation, we have a right to statutory/default bail, as per SC order. Prima facie it seems the agency is saying that further investigation regarding me is required/pending. Therefore, we reserve the right to file an application for statutory bail.

Court had asked the CBI why they have not mentioned that investigation qua Sisodia has been completed. You say you have filed a supplementary chargesheet (in the stipulated time), but you have said the investigation is pending in the case. Why have you not mentioned that the chargesheet is filed on completion of the investigation against Sisodia?

Court had said, Sisodia’s counsel’s submission noted that a copy of the chargesheet is required by them to see whether the investigation of Sisodia is complete. The court states that though this is not the stage to supply a copy of the chargesheet, an e-copy of the same is directed to be submitted to him.

Court further noted that the bail hearing in the CBI case is going on in Delhi HC, and aspects from this could be used in order to press for bail before High Court.

Court further added that Sisodia’s right to argue default bail was reserved. He can argue the same before Delhi HC. In order to argue default bail in HC, Sisodia’s counsels sought supply of copy of chargesheet.

Court has allowed a copy of the chargesheet to be supplied by CBI to Sisodia.

Sisodia was produced physically before the Court on Monday from Tihar, after the end of his Judicial custody period.
