Delhi Excise Policy: SC Extends Interim Bail of Abhishek Boinpally till May 8

The Supreme Court has extended the interim bail of businessman Abhishek Boinpally, accused in a money laundering case related to alleged Delhi excise policy irregularities, until May 8, 2024.

The Bench

A bench comprising Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta, while extending Boinpally’s interim bail, stated in the order, “The matter is taken on board. Interim bail was granted by an earlier order dated. Will continue till the next date of hearing which is May 8.”

Abhishek Boinpally

Boinpally, a former director of Robin Distilleries LLP and an alleged middleman in the Delhi Liquor Policy case, was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in October 2022. Later, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) took him into custody.

Delhi Excise Policy Arrests

The ED has filed charges against Boinpally along with various other accused, including Vijay Nair, Sharath Reddy, Binoy Babu, Amit Arora, and several companies.

In this case, the ED and the CBI have alleged irregularities in modifying the Excise Policy, extending undue favors to license holders, waiving or reducing license fees, and extending the L-1 license without proper approval.

The beneficiaries allegedly diverted “illegal” gains to the accused officials and made false entries in their books to evade detection.

Additionally, the ED has arrested several politicians, including Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, AAP leaders Manish Sisodia and Sanjay Singh, and BRS leader K Kavitha, in connection with this case.
