Former deputy chief minister of Delhi, Manish Sisodia, granted interim relief and allowed to visit his ailing wife, Seema, who had been hospitalized due to her deteriorating health.

Seema, who suffers from multiple sclerosis, had been admitted to the hospital earlier as well. 

Following the Delhi High Court's decision, Sisodia was released from Tihar jail and promptly returned home to be with his wife.

Sisodia had been arrested in connection with alleged irregularities related to the city government's excise policy. The temporary release permitted him to be by his wife's side during this challenging time.

The single headed bench of Justice Dinesh Kumar Sharma directed the Tihar jail superintendent to take Sisodia to his residence where he has been allowed to meet his wife from 10 am to 5 pm.

A senior jail official said Sisodia was taken to his residence around 9 am under security cover. He will have to report back at 5 pm.

The high court made it clear that Sisodia shall not interact with the media or any other person except his family members, and also not access phone or the Internet.
