The Delhi High Court is scheduled to pass an order on former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia’s interim bail plea citing medical grounds for his wife’s health on Monday.
The bench of Justice Dinesh Kumar Sharma on Saturday, after noting down the submissions held during the special hearing, kept the order reserved while seeking a fresh medical report from the LNJP hospital where Sisodia’s wife was admitted on Saturday morning. ED’s Counsel Zohaib Hossain submitted a report on Saturday in relation to Sisodia’s wife’s medical issue and opposed his interim bail plea.
Advocate Zohaib submitted that the earlier prescription report and the present prescription report are identical. There has been no substantial change in her health.
Sisodia held 18 portfolios as a minister and did not have time to visit his wife. Now he is creating all these grounds to get bail.
Advocate Zohaib Hossain also informed the Court that documents related to excise policy were removed from the vigilance secretary’s office on the day of the Supreme Court verdict on services, and an FIR concerning the removal of documents has been filed and the incident is being probed.
Senior Advocate Mohit Mathur appeared for Sisodia and submitted that Sisodia is the sole caretaker of her wife as his only son is studying abroad.
On ED’s submissions, just because Sisodia held 18 portfolios, it doesn’t mean he didn’t take care of his wife. We also work very hard; sometimes we start working from early day to late night, but that doesn’t mean we are not caretakers, we don’t go to our home and do not care about our family.
