"Directorate of Enforcement (ED) informed the Delhi High Court that there had been an unauthorized removal of documents related to the excise policy scam from the office of the Special Secretary (Vigilance). The ED's Special Counsel, Zoheb Hossain, stated that the documents were removed on the day the Supreme Court of India delivered its verdict on the control of services in Delhi. Hossain mentioned that an FIR had been filed regarding the removal of the documents and that an investigation was underway." 

The submission regarding the unauthorized removal of documents was made before Justice Dinesh Kumar Sharma during the hearing of the arguments in the interim bail plea filed by Manish Sisodia, who is an Aam Aadmi Party leader and former Delhi minister.

Senior Advocate Mohit Mathur, representing Sisodia, objected to the submissions, stating that the chargesheet had already been filed in the matter. However, Hossain argued that the documents were still being tampered with. The Court had reserved its verdict on the interim bail plea and the regular bail plea in the money case registered by the ED, and a special sitting was held on Saturday noon.

Sisodia had sought interim bail for six weeks on the grounds of his wife's medical condition. The judge was informed that Sisodia was taken to his house to meet his wife as per the High Court's earlier orders. However, her condition had deteriorated, and she had already been admitted to LNJP Hospital, preventing Sisodia from meeting her.

During the arguments against the grant of interim bail, Hossain contended that Sisodia's wife had been suffering from a degenerative disease for over two decades and that a six-week bail would make no difference to her but only to Sisodia. He also argued that Sisodia, who held multiple portfolios, could not have been the sole caretaker.

In response, Mathur emphasized that a person's life should not be considered insignificant, and questioned the direction in which jurisprudence was heading. He argued that Sisodia was indeed the only caretaker and that the withdrawal of the earlier bail application was due to his wife's condition stabilizing, which has since worsened.

The Court heard the arguments and reserved its order. Justice Sharma also requested a report from LNJP Hospital by the evening.
