The Supreme Court is set to hear the bail petition of former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, who is implicated in the alleged liquor policy scam, on Tuesday, the same day the results of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections will be announced.

Last week, the Delhi High Court rejected Mr. Manish Sisodia's bail petition in connection with money laundering and corruption cases filed by the Enforcement Directorate and the CBI related to the liquor policy case. His party, AAP, stated that it "respectfully disagrees" with the Delhi High Court's decision and intends to approach the Supreme Court for justice.

The High Court described Mr. Sisodia as a very powerful and influential figure within the power corridors of the Delhi government. The court stated that he used deceptive methods to create an impression that the Delhi liquor policy had public support, while in reality, the policy was enacted to benefit a few individuals.

Arvind Kejriwal's government faced corruption allegations when it implemented a policy in 2021 to liberalize the sale of liquor and relinquish a lucrative government stake in the sector. Although the policy was withdrawn the following year, the ensuing investigation into the alleged corrupt allocation of licenses led to the jailing of both Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia.
