A rebuke to the CBI
During the hearing, Special Judge Jitendra Singh slammed the CBI for its flawed investigation and said the detailed charge sheet contained several errors which were not supported by witnesses or statements. No prima facie case was filed. The court refused to fix the charge. The Court has also held that a fair trial requires a fair trial, but this was not found to be the case in this case.
The case relates to the Delhi Liquor Policy 2022-23, in which the CBI filed a case alleging corruption. Several Aam Aadmi Party leaders were jailed in connection with the case, including Arvind Kejriwal, who himself served six months in jail. The CBI and ED have alleged that a bribe of Rs 100 crore was taken from a lobby called South Group in return for license fee waiver and other benefits.
But the investigating agency, CBI, is dissatisfied with this decision and in the High Court Challenges are indicated. The CBI counsel will file an appeal after a thorough study of the order. The case was related to the Delhi Excise Policy 2022-23, on the basis of which the CBI filed the case. Later, the ED also registered a case on charges of money laundering. Several Aam Aadmi Party leaders were jailed in this case and their bail was denied several times. The decision is being seen as a big relief for Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia, as it has freed them from many legal pressures on the party.
