New Delhi:
The Supreme Court on Monday sought response from the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on the bail plea filed by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Sanjay Singh in a money-laundering case related to the alleged Delhi Excise Policy scam.
A bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta issued notice to the federal agency on the plea in which Singh has challenged the Delhi High Court order which had refused to grant him bail in the case.
The bench tagged the bail plea with another petition by Singh, in which he has challenged his arrest and remand in a money laundering case.
Senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi, appearing in the court on behalf of Singh, sought issuance of notice on the bail plea and requested to tag the plea with the pending case.
He said that the pending case is scheduled to be heard on March 5 and hence both the cases should be heard together.
The bench agreed to the request and said that both the petitions would be considered together.
The high court had on February 7 rejected the bail plea of Singh, who has been re-elected to the Rajya Sabha from Delhi, but directed the trial court to expedite the trial once it begins.
Singh was arrested by the ED in the case on October 4, 2023.
