Nagpal denied the bail application with reference to the serious nature of allegations and the apprehension of his release adversely affecting the investigation.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The instant case was registered by CBI for offences under Sections 120B read with 477A of the Penal Code, 1860, (\u2018IPC\u2019) Section 7 of Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 (\u2018PC Act\u2019) and other offences related to the irregularities in framing and implementing the Delhi Excise Policy 2021-22. Manish Sisodia was arrested on 26-2-2023 after filing of charge-sheet, and the investigation is still ongoing. The instant matter relates to allegations of manipulation of formulation and implementation of excise policy of GNCTD for facilitating monopolization and cartelization of liquor trade in the National Capital, done against advance kickbacks of around Rs. 90-100 crores for which certain provisions were inserted in the existing excise policy to favour the lobby and other members of cartel in liquor business in furtherance of a criminal conspiracy between several accused persons.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">While dealing with the instant matter, the Court mentioned the other cases registered by Directorate of Enforcement (\u2018ED\u2019) in money laundering case against Manish Sisodia and others in which he is under judicial custody and investigation is ongoing.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The Court pointed out that although none of the offences carry punishment of imprisonment beyond 7 years, the term of punishment is not the only criteria for deciding an application for bail. The Court referred to the cases relied upon by the Counsel of Manish Sisodia, particularly <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">P. Chidambaram v.

It further mentioned the allegations of tampering with evidence.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The Court concluded that Manish Sisodia played the most important role in the said criminal conspiracy, deeply involved in the formulation and implementation of policy ensuring the alleged objectives. The Court held Manish Sisodia to be the prima facie architect of the said criminal conspiracy, rejected his bail application referring to the pending investigation and opined that allegations against Manish Sisodia in the instant liquor case are serious in nature, and that his release at this stage may adversely affect the investigation seriously hampering the progress. The Court further said that \u201cMere filing of a chargesheet against seven other co accused does not matter much in a case like this where deep-rooted conspiracy for commission of some economic offences effecting the people at large is alleged to have been committed.\u201d The Court agreed with the observations regarding economic offences in <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Y.S.
