    Delhi Court Extends Former Delhi’s Former Deputy CM Manish Sisodia’s Judicial Custody Till May 23

    A Delhi court on Monday extended till May 23 the judicial custody of former deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia in a money laundering case related to the alleged excise scam. Special Judge M K Nagpal extended the custody of the AAP leader after he was produced before the court on expiry of his judicial custody granted earlier.

    The court noted the submission of the Enforcement Directorate’s Special Public Prosecutor N K Matta, who submitted that the agency has filed a supplementary charge sheet against the accused, which is scheduled for consideration on May 10. The court had earlier dismissed Sisodia’s bail plea, saying “the case of economic offences has serious repercussions upon the general public and society at large as the evidence collected during investigation speaks volumes of his involvement in the commission of the said offence”.

    The ED on March 9 arrested Sisodia in the liquor policy case. Sisodia was arrested by the CBI earlier in its ongoing investigation of a case related to alleged irregularities in the framing and implementation of the Delhi Excise Policy 2021-22. He is currently in judicial custody in both cases.

    Delhi court extends Anubrata Mondal’s judicial custody till May 4

    NEW DELHI: The Delhi Court on Monday extended the judicial custody of Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Anubrata Mondal till May 4 in connection with the cattle smuggling case. Meanwhile, the arguments on his application seeking his transfer from Delhi to Asansol Correctional Home (West Bengal) are underway.

    In March, the TMC’s Birbhum district president moved an application in Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court seeking his transfer to Asansol Correctional Home (West Bengal).

    Earlier, on Monday, the TMC leader was produced in Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court at the expiry of his judicial custody.

    Earlier, on April 27, the Rouse Avenue Court granted three days’ custody of Sukanya Mondal, Anubrata’s daughter, to Enforcement Directorate (ED) to interrogate her in the cattle smuggling case. She was arrested on the previous day by the ED.

    Special judge Raghubeer Singh granted three days’ custody after hearing the submission of the special public prosecutor (SPP) Nitesh Rana and defence counsels.

    The court, however, allowed the counsels to meet the accused during ED custody. It also directed the ED to get the accused medically examined in every 48 hours.

    ED sought three days’ remand to trace the proceeds of the crime, trace the money trail and identify the modus operandi. She was also to be sat along her father and TMC strongman Anubarata and questioned in connection with the case. The SPP submitted that Sukanya Mondal was arrested on April 26 evening.

    A close aide of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Anubrata was arrested by the CBI in connection with the cattle smuggling case in July last year.

    After SC’s direction, Lalit Modi tenders apology for his remarks

    After Supreme Court’s direction, former Indian Premier League (IPL) chairman Lalit Modi on Tuesday tendered his apology for his remarks against the judiciary on social media.

    In his statement, Lalit Modi said, “I hereby tender this unconditional public apology for my social media post, dated January 13, 2023, and my tweet dated March 30, 2023. I reiterate that I have the highest regard for the Indian Judicial System and the majesty of the Courts, and I will not do anything which is inconsistent with the majesty or dignity of the Courts or the Indian Judiciary, in any manner.”

    “I reiterate that I do not, and did not, have the remotest intention of denigrating or lowering the Indian Judiciary’s image or public estimation, which I hold in the highest regard and esteem,” he added.
    The Supreme Court last week directed former Indian Premier League (IPL) chairman Lalit Modi to tender an unconditional apology on social media platforms and national newspapers for his remarks against the judiciary.

    A bench of Justices MR Shah and CT Ravikumar slammed Modi for his remarks and warned him that any repeat of such conduct will be viewed “very seriously”.

    The bench observed that Modi is not above the law and the institution and also directed him to file an affidavit before it tenders an apology.

    The affidavit has to state that no such posts on social media will be made in future which would be tantamount, even remotely, to tarnishing the image of the Indian judiciary, the apex court said.
