SC grants bail to ex-AAP office-bearer Vijay Nair, lodged in Tihar for 23 months, in Delhi excise policy case

The Supreme Court on Monday (September 2) granted bail to ex-AAP office-bearer Vijay Nair, an accused in the Delhi Excise Policy case filed by the ED. The top court cited Manish Sisodia case as a reference while granting bail to the former AAP office bearer. He has been in Tihar Jail for 23 months. As an undertrial, he could not be kept in jail for an extended period. Natural justice dictates that imprisonment is an exception, and bail is the rule.
