New Delhi, Aug 13 (UNI) The Supreme Court on Tuesday extended the interim bail of Hyderabad-based businessman Abhishek Boinpally in a money laundering case related to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam.
A bench comprising Justice M M Sundresh and Justice Aravind Kumar extended the interim bail but adjourned the hearing on regular bail to October 14.
Senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for Boinpally, requested the court for a regular bail but as the Additional Solicitor General S V Raju was not available for the hearing, the matter got adjourned.
Sibal said that Boinpally was arrested in October 2022 . He was granted interim bail on March 20 for the treatment of his wife who was suffering various ailments.
Boinpally has sought regular bail on the similar grounds as AAP leader Manish Sisodia who was granted bail due to prolonged incarceration without trial. "He has been in custody for almost two years now," Sibal contented.
