A Delhi Court on Wednesday extended till January 20 the judicial custody of AAP leaders Manish Sisodia and Sanjay Singh in a money laundering case related to the alleged excise scam.

Special Judge M K Nagpal also allowed Mr Singh to visit the returning officer to receive his election certificate upon his re-election to the Rajya Sabha on January 12.

Mr Singh and two other AAP candidates are expected to get elected to the Rajya Sabha unopposed given the party’s overwhelming dominance in the Delhi assembly.

The court passed the order on an application moved by Mr Singh seeking directions to the jail authorities to take him to the returning officer to receive the certificate as January 12 is the last date for the withdrawal of nominations.
