The court on Monday extended his judicial custody till July 22 in a corruption case related to the Excise policy scam.

The problems of Aam Aadmi Party leader Manish Sisodia, who is in jail in the alleged money laundering case related to the Delhi liquor scam, are not ending. After the Supreme Court, now Sisodia has also received a setback from the Rouse Avenue Court of Delhi.

The court on Monday extended his judicial custody till July 22 in a corruption case related to the Excise policy scam. Sisodia was produced before the court through video conferencing after his judicial custody expired.

Special Judge Kaveri Baweja for Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and Enforcement Directorate (ED) has given this decision. Before this, a hearing was to be held on July 11 in the Supreme Court on their petition. But a bench judge recused himself from the case.

Earlier, Delhi's Rouse Avenue court had on April 30 rejected Sisodia's bail pleas in corruption and money laundering cases filed by the CBI and ED in connection with the alleged Delhi Excise Policy scam.

The court reserved the verdict after hearing the arguments of the CBI and ED as well as the lawyers appearing on behalf of Sisodia.

Premier Smith says no immediate plans to amend Alberta recall law

Premier Danielle Smith says her government has no current plans to change Alberta’s recall legislation, even as two petitions to remove sitting United Conservative Party members have been approved by Elections Alberta. Speaking to reporters, Smith said she is concerned that some recall efforts may be politically motivated rather than genuine attempts to hold elected officials accountable. She suggested the process may be used to undermine her government rather than serve its intended democratic purpose. The premier confirmed that no legislative amendments are being considered “at the momen

Supreme Court declines to hear B.C. ostrich farm appeal over avian flu cull

The Supreme Court of Canada has refused to hear an appeal from the owners of a British Columbia ostrich farm challenging a federal order to destroy hundreds of their birds following an avian flu outbreak. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) directed the cull on December 31, 2024, after detecting the virus on the property near Edgewood in B.C.’s southern Interior. The farm owners sought to overturn the order, arguing that the surviving ostriches showed no symptoms of infection and should not be euthanized. Federal officials maintained that even apparently healthy birds can carry and tr

Supreme Court decision to determine future of B.C. ostrich flock amid avian flu dispute

The fate of more than 300 ostriches in British Columbia’s southern Interior could be decided within days, as the Supreme Court of Canada prepares to rule on whether it will hear a final appeal from Universal Ostrich Farms. The Edgewood-based operation has spent nearly a year fighting a Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) order to cull its flock following an avian influenza outbreak last December. The farm has already lost two earlier legal battles in Federal Court and the Federal Court of Appeal. In September, the Supreme Court temporarily halted the cull while it considered whether to he

Punjab and Haryana High Court hears heated arguments on Bikram Singh Majithia’s bail plea

A heated exchange took place in the Punjab and Haryana High Court today during the hearing of former minister Bikram Singh Majithia’s bail petition. The Punjab Advocate General, appearing for the state government, sought two days’ time to file a response, but the court made it clear that the matter would be heard the same day. Majithia’s counsel argued that since the charge sheet has already been filed, there was no justification for the government to continue opposing bail. The defence pointed out that the Supreme Court had earlier dismissed an investigation report in a related NDPS mat
