Manish Sisodia gets Delhi HC relief, to meet ailing wife in custody on Saturday

The Delhi High Court Friday permitted AAP leader Manish Sisodia, under arrest in cases related to alleged irregularities in the city government's excise policy, to meet his ailing wife at his residence on Saturday.

Justice Dinesh Kumar Sharma directed the Tihar Jail Superintendent to take Sisodia, the former deputy chief minister, to his residence where he has been allowed to meet his wife from 10 AM to 5 PM.

The high court made it clear that Sisodia shall not interact with media or any other person except his family members and also not access his phone or internet.

“Let the petitioner be taken to his house tomorrow from 10 AM to 5 PM to meet his wife,” the court said.

The high court was hearing Sisodia's petitions for regular bail and interim bail in the money laundering case lodged by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and reserved its orders.
