Manish Sisodia's Bail Plea : Live Updates From Supreme Court

ASG: We have evidence he has destroyed phone records

Bench reserves order

Singhvi: He was a Minister then...possible influence was apprehended

ASG: Triple test was held to not have been satisfied. He was known to have destroyed material

Singhvi: J Khanna negatived this point. he said it's a matter of trial

ASG: There is a finding on tampering in my favor by HC

Singhvi: How can there be a finding on tampering?

Singhvi: We are talking about a man who has roots in society. Would it be foolish to tamper with evidence with inspection going on? My ld. friend has power to exercise cancellation even if I sneeze

Singhvi: They never raised any apprehension about my tampering in the way it has been raised today. 10 witnesses we apprehend, etc. Sanjay Chandra and P. Chidambaram judgments say credible reason has to be there...

Singhvi refers to a one-week old order by trial court

Singhvi: During the proceedings, IO submitted that completion of forensic data extraction will take 25-30 days.

Singhvi: Arguments on charge have not started. They say digital devices are so voluminous that one copy would take 70-80 days to make. Thereafter, inspection will happen. We are encroaching upon eternity, not time

Singhvi: Has the accused sabotaged the trial? That is the test

SG Tushar Mehta joins proceedings

Singhvi: Your Lordships say my timing of reaching court is impeccable...SG's is impeccable

Singhvi: Suppose there is something directly exculpatory...and it is put in unrelied documents

Singhvi: We all understand criminal law. My learned friend knows it more than most of us in this room

J Gavai: Including us

Singhvi: I'm not saying that. Just asking how can trial commence when even S.207 stage is not over?
