Manish Sisodia, former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister, has been in custody for 17 months without commencing his trial. The Supreme Court expressed concern over this delay, highlighting that it deprives him of his fundamental right to a speedy trial. While granting bail, the Supreme Court imposed conditions, including surrendering Sisodia's passport and a directive not to influence witnesses.
Sisodia has been granted bail on a bond of Rs 10 lakh, requiring two sureties. Additionally, he must report to the police station regularly and is prohibited from visiting the Chief Minister's office and the secretariat.
