Supreme Court seeks ED response on Sanjay Singh plea against arrest, remand in Delhi Excise Policy scam

The Delhi High Court had in October rejected the petition filed by Singh challenging his arrest.

The High Court had stated that imputing political motives to the ED may have an impact on the image of the country.

Singh was arrested by the ED on October 4 after it conducted a search at his residence.

The case against Singh involves allegations that he played a key role in framing and implementing the now-scrapped Delhi Excise Policy, which was allegedly aimed at benefiting certain liquor manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers.

On October 5, he was initially remanded to ED custody till October 10, which was later extended till October 13.

On October 13, he was sent to judicial custody for 14 days. Singh then moved the High Court arguing that his arrest was an abuse of the legal process.

The plea was rejected leading to the present appeal before the top court.
