Excise policy case: Hearing on bail plea of businessman in Delhi court on May 12

New Delhi (IANS) | A Delhi court has fixed May 12 for hearing the bail application of businessman Amandeep Singh Dhall in the Excise Policy case. Rouse Avenue Court’s Special CBI Judge M.K. Nagpal gave a date for hearing on Dhal’s plea on a joint request by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the accused.
Special Public Prosecutor N.K. Matta sought an adjournment saying the court has summoned Dhal and other co-accused on May 12 after the ED filed a supplementary prosecution complaint (equivalent to a chargesheet in the ED’s process) against them.
Further, Dhall’s counsel sought adjournment to address arguments on his bail application.
Therefore, the petition on the joint request is directed to be listed on May 12 for arguments, the judge said.
The court had last Saturday extended the custody of former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia till May 8 in the excise policy matter being probed by the ED.
The same court had on April 27 extended Sisodia’s judicial custody till May 12 in the case being probed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
