The Impressive TimesThe Supreme Court granted bail to AAP leader Manish Sisodia on August 9, 2024, in connection with corruption and money laundering charges related to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam. The Court noted that Sisodia had been in custody for 17 months and emphasized that the delay in commencing the trial had deprived him of his right to a speedy trial.
AAP hailed the Supreme Court’s decision as a “victory of truth” and expressed hope that this outcome would lead to justice for other party leaders currently jailed. Delhi Minister and AAP leader Atishi, visibly emotional, described the bail as a victory for the children and education, reflecting on Sisodia’s significant contributions to improving education in Delhi. She criticized the case against him as a false accusation, underscoring the belief that the ruling represents a triumph for educational reforms and the future of students.
The bail allows Sisodia to continue his work and advocacy for education, which has been a central focus of his political career. The AAP remains optimistic that this development will contribute positively to their ongoing efforts and lead to further legal and political resolutions.
