The
Supreme Court on Friday deferred hearing for October 4 on the bail pleas of AAP
leader Manish Sisodia in two Delhi excise policy cases being probed by the CBI
and ED.
A
bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and SVN Bhatti adjourned the matter after
senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi, appearing for Sisodia, submitted that he
needs two to three hours to argue the matter.
"Although
I am in jail. We (both sides) have agreed. The hearing will take 2-3 hours at
least on my side. This matter requires urgent attention," Singhvi said.
Additional
Solicitor General SV Raju agreed to his submission.
Singhvi
also alleged that whenever this case or Satyendar Jain's case comes up, there
is a newspaper article on the merits of the case.
The
bench said it has not read newspapers and added, "We have to get used to
that".
