“Evidence should not be tampered with”

Manish Sisodia will not tamper with the evidence related to this case while being out of jail. Also, he will not try to influence any witness. Manish Sisodia cannot leave the country, he will also have to surrender his passport.

The court cited delay in trial as the basis
The Supreme Court has granted bail to Manish Sisodia in CBI and ED cases. The court has cited delay in trial as the main basis while granting bail. The court has also taken long-term pre-trial detention seriously. During the hearing of the case, the court said that bail is a rule while jail is an exception. We have considered keeping Manish Sisodia in jail for a long time. We are granting him bail but the trial of this case will not end even in the near future.
“The accused has the right to a speedy trial”
During the hearing, the Supreme Court said that sending the appellant back to the trial court would be like playing a game of snakes and ladders with him. A person cannot be forced to run from one place to another. We believe that the accused has the right to a speedy trial. At the same time, the right to freedom is a sacred right. There is no evidence to show that the petitioner delayed the hearing.
