Supreme Court Grants Bail to Businessman in Excise Policy Scam Case

The Supreme Court has granted bail to Amandeep Singh Dhall, a businessman implicated in a corruption case related to an alleged excise policy scam. The court considered the lengthy pre-trial detention and granted bail with conditions, as set by the trial court. Dhall must attend all court hearings.

The Supreme Court granted bail on Friday to businessman Amandeep Singh Dhall in connection with a high-profile corruption case involving an alleged excise policy scam.

A bench comprising Justices Surya Kant and Ujjal Bhuyan highlighted the significant number of 300 witnesses yet to be examined by the CBI as the trial had not commenced.

The court acknowledged Dhall's detention for over a year, noting that other accused parties had already been granted bail. Thus, Dhall received bail, subject to trial court terms, and must be present for future hearings.
