This follows a Supreme Court decision granting him bail in the Delhi excise policy case, marking an end to his 17-month detention.<\/p>\n<p>The atmosphere outside Tihar Jail was charged with anticipation as AAP leaders and supporters gathered to welcome Sisodia. Prominent figures such as Delhi Minister Atishi and AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh were present, underscoring the importance of the occasion for the party.<\/p>\n<p>Sisodia\u2019s release comes after prolonged legal battles and significant media coverage. The Delhi excise policy case, which has been a focal point of political debate, led to Sisodia\u2019s arrest in February 2023. The Supreme Court\u2019s decision to grant bail was a pivotal moment, providing a measure of relief for Sisodia and his supporters.<\/p>\n<p>His return to public life is expected to reinvigorate AAP\u2019s political activities, particularly ahead of upcoming elections and legislative sessions. Sisodia\u2019s release is a moment of triumph for the AAP, which has faced considerable challenges and controversies over the past year. The party has positioned itself as a major player in Delhi\u2019s political landscape, and Sisodia\u2019s return is likely to have significant implications for its strategies and future plans.<\/p>\n<p>The legal and political journey of Manish Sisodia highlights the complexities of India\u2019s legal system and the intersection of politics and justice. As he resumes his role, the focus will shift to the ongoing legal proceedings and the impact of his release on Delhi\u2019s political dynamics.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AAP leader Manish Sisodia has been granted bail by the Supreme Court, leading to his release from Tihar Jail after 17 months of incarceration. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":409,"featured_media":30078,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[4386,17192,10370,17190,17194,10589,15012,17193,3339,17191],"class_list":["post-30059","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-india","tag-aap","tag-atishi","tag-bail","tag-delhi-excise-policy-case","tag-india-news","tag-manish-sisodia","tag-political-news","tag-sanjay-singh","tag-supreme-court","tag-tihar-jail"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30059","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/409"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30059"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30059\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30078"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30059"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30059"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30059"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
