New Delhi:

The Supreme Court today ordered the removal of advocate Bansuri Swaraj's name from its bail order to AAP leader Sanjay Singh after the Enforcement Directorate said her name was added in an "inadvertent error".

A bench headed by Justice Sanjiv Khanna said, "Ok, we will correct the order."

Advocate Zoheb Hussain, appearing for the probe agency ED, said Ms Swaraj did not appear in the case nor did she represent the agency in the matter.

"Due to some inadvertent error, her name is reflected in the appearance slip," Mr Hussain said.

Bansuri Swaraj is a BJP candidate from the New Delhi parliamentary constituency.
