Court Allows AAP MP Sanjay Singh to Sign Documents for Rajya Sabha Renomination

New Delhi: A court in Delhi permitted the arrested AAP MP Sanjay Singh, to sign forms and documents for his Rajya Sabha re-nomination. Sanjay Singh is in judicial custody following his arrest in a money-laundering case related to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam.

The present Rajya Sabha term of Sanjay Singh is expiring on January 27 and the Returning Officer has issued a notice on January 2 for conduct of the election and nominations for the same are to be submitted by January 9.

Special Judge MK Nagpal passed the order on an application filed by Sanjay Singh, who sought a direction to the Tihar Jail Superintendent to allow him to sign the documents.

“It is being directed that if the documents are presented by counsel for the accused before jail authorities on January 6, the jail superintendent shall ensure that the signatures of the accused are permitted to be taken on said documents and he is also permitted to meet his counsel for half-an-hour to discuss the modalities in connection with filing of the nomination,” the judge said in an order passed on Thursday.
