The parole application of AAP leader Manish Sisodia will be heard on March 10. Today, the order for CBI remand will be issued.
As Manish Sisodia was produced before the Rouse Avenue Court on Saturday and the CBI requested three days of remand for the former deputy chief minister of Delhi in the liquor policy case, his attorney Dayan Krishnan stated that there is no justification for a remand extension. “The basis cannot be “we will wait for him to confess.” The inefficiency of the agency cannot serve as a justification for remand. Today, it is easy to assert that he is not cooperating “According to LiveLaw, Krishnan opposed the CBI’s request for an extension of custody. The court scheduled Sisodia’s parole hearing for March 10 and requested a response from the CBI.
Informing the court of Sisodia’s wife’s critical health condition, Sisodia’s attorney argued that locating missing documents while keeping Sisodia in detention cannot be a justification for the remand extension. Legally speaking, she is in a vegetative state, the attorney informed the court.

“Punishment is an exception. The fact that you have 15 days does not mean the court will grant 15 days. The court will determine. What compelling rationale exists?” While Sisodia’s attorney argued, the CBI stated that Sisodia has not been cooperating.
After 8.5 hours of interrogation on Sunday, the CBI arrested Sisodia in connection with the alleged liquor scam. Sisodia was granted five days of CBI custody on Monday, which concludes on Saturday. The CBI has requested a three-day extension, whereas Sisodia has filed a bail petition in a trial court, arguing that keeping him in detention would serve no useful purpose.
