Today, former Delhi Chief Minister of Delhi Manish Sisodia withdrew the applications seeking interim bail in the cases alleging corruption and money laundering in the implementation of the previous liquor policy in Delhi.

The request for withdrawal was made before the Delhi High Court.

The bench of Justice Dinesh Kumar Sharma recorded in the order -"Since the order on the main bail application [in the CBI Case] has been reserved and the fact that the condition of the wife of the petitioner is stable, he does not want to present interim bail application.'

Additional Solicitor General SV Raju said  "This is not a simple withdrawal," Raju said.

The court, while recording Raju's statement that "certain submissions were made regarding suppression of facts", said that without going into any of such contention, the application is dismissed as withdrawn.

Yesterday, Delhi Rouse Avenue Court extended the judicial custody of AAP leader and former Delhi Deputy CM Manish Sisodia till June 1. The court also directed the jail authorities to consider his request to provide him chair and table for study purposes.
