Senior advocate to submit the medical reports...
On Monday, 10 July 2023, the SC extended till July 24 the interim bail granted to former Delhi minister Satyendar Jain on medical grounds in a money laundering case being probed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
A bench of justices A S Bopanna and M M Sundresh directed senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi, appearing for Mr. Jain, to submit the medical reports to Additional Solicitor General S V Raju.
During the hearing, Mr. Singhvi submitted the medical report in which the three hospitals recommended surgery for Jain.
The higher court on May 26 granted interim bail to Mr. Jain for six weeks on medical grounds, saying a citizen has a right to receive treatment of his own choice in a private hospital at his own expense.
The ED arrested Mr. Jain on May 30, 2022, on the charge of laundering money through four companies allegedly linked to him.
