AAP leader Sanjay Singh's petition against his detention in a money laundering case involving alleged irregularities
Digital Desk: The Delhi High Court decided on Friday to hear during the day a petition by AAP leader Sanjay Singh challenging his detention in a money laundering case involving alleged irregularities in the defunct Delhi excise policy.
A counsel for the Rajya Sabha MP requested an immediate hearing before a bench of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Sanjeev Narula.
According to Singh's counsel, valid grounds for arrest were not supplied to him, and the court seemed right with it.

On October 10, the judge hearing the case ordered Singh, who had been arrested earlier this month, to be held in the custody of the Enforcement Directorate until October 13.
Furthermore, the ED's money laundering investigation is based on the CBI FIR.
According to the CBI and the ED, irregularities were perpetrated during the modification of the Delhi Excise Policy 2021-22, and unfair advantages were granted to licence holders.
The Delhi government enacted the excise policy on November 17, 2021, but it was revoked at the end of September 2022 due to corruption claims.
