The Supreme Court has dismissed the curative petitions filed by AAP leader Manish Sisodia against its October 30 last year verdict dismissing his bail pleas in the corruption and money laundering cases related to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam.
A bench headed by Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud, which considered the curative pleas in-chamber, also rejected his application for listing the petitions in the open court.
A curative petition is the last legal recourse in the apex court and is generally considered in-chamber unless a prima facie case is made out for reconsideration of the verdict.
“Application for listing the curative petitions in open court is dismissed. We have gone through the curative petitions and the connected documents. In our opinion, no case is made out within the parameters indicated in the decision of this court in Rupa Ashok Hurra vs Ashok Hurra. The curative petitions are dismissed,” the bench, which also comprised justices Sanjiv Khanna, BR Gavai and SVN Bhatti, said in its order passed on March 13.
On December 13 last year, the top court had dismissed Sisodia’s pleas seeking review of its October 30, 2023 verdict dismissing his bail petitions.
