NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Wednesday directed the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to delete the name of advocate Bansuri Swaraj from the bail order of AAP leader Sanjay Singh after the probe agency said her name was added “inadvertently”.A bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna, Dipankar Datta and P B Varale while allowing the mentioning of the ED, said, “Ok, we will correct the order. The needful would be done accordingly.”Before passing the order, the court heard the mentioning from the ED counsel Zoheb Hossain, who said Swaraj did not appear in the case nor did she represent the agency in the matter and requested the SC to remove her name.It is to be noted that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament (MP), Sanjay Singh was granted bail on Tuesday by the top court on ED’s concession in the “peculiar facts” of the case, as it told the SC that it did not want his further custody in the case anymore.Hossain said that due to some inadvertent error, her name is reflected in the appearance slip. “Inadvertent error crept into the recording of the appearance. Ms Bansuri Swaraj was neither engaged nor did she appear in the matter,” he added.
