SC grants bail to Amandeep Singh Dhall in Delhi liquor policy case; All accused now out on bail
New Delhi: The Supreme Court today granted bail to Amandeep Singh Dhall, a businessman and director of Brindco Sales Private Limited, in connection with the alleged corruption case arising from the Delhi liquor policy. With this order, all the accused in the case, including AAP leaders Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, Sanjay Singh, and BRS leader K Kavitha, have now been granted bail.
A bench comprising Justices Surya Kant and Ujjal Bhuyan delivered the decision while addressing Dhall’s appeal against the Delhi High Court's June 2024 ruling, which had denied him regular bail in the CBI investigation. The bench noted that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had proposed around 300 witnesses, making it unlikely that the trial would conclude soon. Considering Dhall's 1.5-year custody period, the court found that his continued detention was unnecessary.
Dhall had earlier secured bail in a related money laundering case. Senior Advocate Siddharth Dave, representing Dhall, highlighted that all co-accused had already received bail except his client.
During the proceedings, Justice Kant urged the CBI to focus on achieving convictions rather than just securing detentions, stating, "The message to hardened, white-collar criminals is that they either remain inside or get away with no consequence. Your conviction rate needs attention."
