Special judge M K Nagpal granted permission to Sisodia to visit his unwell wife at his residence from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. while being under police custody.
Sisodia submitted a request seeking approval to visit his ailing wife for a duration of five days while being in custody.
Both the CBI and ED objected to the request, arguing that the accused’s application lacks clarity on the legal provisions under which permission is sought. They suggested that an interim bail application should have been filed instead.
Former Deputy CM Manish Sisodia is facing charges in both a CBI case and a money laundering case.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrested Sisodia on February 26 in connection with his alleged involvement in the Delhi excise policy case Since then, he has been in custody.
Following his questioning in Tihar Jail on March 9, the ED arrested Sisodia in connection with the money laundering case arising from the CBI FIR.
