Former Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia was given temporary relief and permitted to see his ailing wife Seema in the hospital where she was being treated for a deteriorating health condition. His wife is suffering from multiple sclerosis.

Sisodia arrived at his Mathura Road home this morning after he was given bail from 10 am to 5 pm, according to the sources.

However, the High Court permitted him to meet his wife but emphasised that he was not to communicate with the media, anybody outside of his immediate family, or use the internet or his phone.

The court additionally ordered that the medical report of his wife is confirmed and to be positively provided by tomorrow evening.

Further, the bench of Justice Dinesh Kumar Sharma instructed the Tihar jail’s superintendent to take Sisodia to his home, where he is permitted to see his wife from 10 am to 5 pm.

According to a senior jail official, Sisodia was moved under security protection to his home at 9 am, and at 5 pm he will report back.

Meanwhile, the legal team of Sisodia has filed an interim bail request in Delhi High Court, citing his wife’s condition. In the interim bail, the court is requested to grant bail for a period of six weeks.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) challenged the interim bail through Additional Solicitor General SV Raju, who said, he can visit his wife while being escorted by the police.

For his suspected involvement in the scam, Sisodia was detained by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on February 26, 2023. On May 30, the High Court declined to grant him bail in the CBI case.

He is currently in judicial detention after being detained on March 9 in connection with the case brought by the ED.

Election Commission removes West Bengal DGP, home secretaries of Gujarat, Bihar, UP and 3 other states

Days after announcing the Lok Sabha 2024 schedule, the Election Commission ordered to remove home secretaries in six states, namely Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand.

Ahead of the Lok Sabha election, the Election Commission issued orders for the removal of six Home Secretaries and the top bureaucrats from Gujarat, Bihar, and Uttar Pradesh.

The top police official in a state where there have been multiple incidents of violence during elections in recent years, West Bengal’s Director-General of Police, was also transferred by the poll panel. The poll panel also mandated that by 5 p.m., a shortlist of three possible candidates for the position be prepared and submitted.

The transfer of the home secretaries of Jharkhand, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand, as well as top officials affiliated with the offices of the chief ministers of Mizoram and Himachal Pradesh, is part of the reorganisation, which is a customary action by the Election Commission  ahead of the Lok Sabha elections.

In addition, Iqbal Singh Chahal, the Commissioner of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, as well as other officials from Maharashtra’s municipalities, have been dismissed.

The 2024 Lok Sabha election is less than a month away; the ECI announced on Saturday that voting will take place in seven phases starting on April 19 and ending on June 1.

Actually, since the ECI issued polling dates, this is the first bureaucratic reshuffle.

Following a meeting with his two associates, the recently appointed Gyanesh Kumar and Sukhbir Singh Sandhu, Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar took action. In the upcoming Lok Sabha and Assembly elections, as well as the by-polls for 26 seats across 13 states, the poll panel is committed to providing fair and equal opportunities for all political parties. This action is part of that commitment.

According to sources, the dismissed officials were found to be holding multiple positions in the chief ministers’ offices of each state. This could compromise needed impartiality, especially with regard to law-and-order before, during, and after voting.

The Congress asserted that the state had unleashed thugs on the populace, while the Trinamool charged the opposition with inciting violence and chastised central authorities for their inability to safeguard voters.
