On Monday, the Rouse Avenue Court in Delhi gave notice to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in response to a request made by the former deputy chief minister of Delhi, Manish Sisodia, requesting authorization to withdraw money for his wife’s medical expenses and other household obligations.
The ED has taken control of this account. A warning was sent to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) by Special Judge M K Nagpal. On August 4, the application will be heard by the court. Since the bank won’t let Sisodia withdraw the money without a written court order, she has asked permission to do so.
On his behalf, advocate Mohd Irshad submitted that bank is not allowing him to withdraw the amount which is required for medical and other expenses.
Meanwhile, the Court directed the CBI to supply the documents to the remaining accused persons. The court was informed that documents have already been supplied to some accused persons.
The next date is August 22 for further hearing.
During the hearing, CBI opposed the bail plea of accused Arjun Pandey and said he has an important role in Rs. 44 crores transaction. He may hamper the investigation going on in relation to the South lobby.
