In yet another setback to senior AAP leader Manish Sisodia, the Supreme Court has dismissed his pleas seeking review of its October 30 verdict dismissing his bail petitions in the corruption and money laundering cases related to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam.

A bench of Justice Sanjiv Khanna and Justice SVN Bhatti dismissed the review petitions on Wednesday during in chamber proceedings where such pleas are considered and decided.

"We have carefully perused the review petitions as also the grounds in support thereof. In our opinion, no case for review of the judgment dated October 30, 2023, is made out. The review petitions are, accordingly, dismissed," the bench said in its order which was passed on Wednesday but uploaded on the apex court's website on Thursday.

It also rejected Sisodia's request for an oral hearing on the review petitions.

In a setback to Sisodia, the apex court had on October 30 denied him bail in the corruption and money-laundering cases related to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam, saying the allegations by the probe agencies that "windfall gains" of Rs 338 crore was made by a few wholesale distributors was "tentatively supported" by evidence.

The top court, which termed several charges levelled by the Enforcement Directorate against Sisodia as debatable, said

about the alleged windfall gains that "However, there is one clear ground or charge in the

complaint filed under the PML Act, which is free from perceptible legal challenge and the facts as alleged are tentatively supported by material and evidence.”
