Dr AM Singhvi: My lords, I have very strong grounds which I'm not touching today. I'm seeking on medical grounds today. Rest you can examine later.

#SatyendarJain #SupremeCourt #SupremeCourtofIndia

ASG SV Raju: On medical grounds, let him be examined by AIIMS. Because the records of other hospitals - it can be fudged. Independent examination is necessary. He was the health minister... medical records of Delhi hospital cannot be correct.

#SatyendarJain #SupremeCourt

Justice Narasimha: It's not something that has been there before. It has come up overnight.

ASG SV Raju: If the report is in his favour, i will concede.

#SatyendarJain #SupremeCourt #SupremeCourtofIndia

ASG SV Raju: Either RMM or AIIMS by panel of doctors...let him be examined.

#SatyendarJain #SupremeCourt #SupremeCourtofIndia

Singhvi: The man has been in jail since a year... In the predicate offence he got bail on 19 July...They interrogated me on 7 dates...

Justice JK Maheshwari: Please argue only on medical grounds.

#SatyendarJain #SupremeCourt #SupremeCourtofIndia

Justice Narasimha: What's the reason Mr Raju that you don't have confidence in the medical reports?

ASG Raju: Please see my affidavit.

#SatyendarJain #SupremeCourt #SupremeCourtofIndia

Singhvi: Kindly note that the mandatory hospital was in Tihar.

#SatyendarJain #SupremeCourt #SupremeCourtofIndia

ASG Raju reads from the affidavit of ED, states that the petitioner was the Minister of Health and his photograph was on all Delhi hospital. He states that Jain was also the jail minister. The same causes apprehension to ED that he may be misusing his position.

ASG Raju further states that his previous medical reports have been bogus.

ASG: Moment we say that let him be examined by AIIMS he withdraws his requests. These reports should not be taken with a pinch of salt but a huge amount of salt.

#SatyendarJain #SupremeCourt

ASG Raju: He may have a genuine case, I will concede in that case. But history is that he feigns illness, gets fake reports, the moment we want independent evaluation- he withdraws...

#SatyendarJain #SupremeCourt #SupremeCourtofIndia

ASG Raju: On 13th he was fit. We mandatorily were required to check, evaluate. He had no symptoms. Suddenly on 14th he had symptoms?

#SatyendarJain #SupremeCourt #SupremeCourtofIndia

Singhvi: He has cited LNGP, not GB Pant. LNGP is a mandatory referral hospital for Tihar. Today's reports cannot be refused because of reports from 2022. Where will he run? He will be back in jail in 1-2 months.

#SatyendarJain #SupremeCourt #SupremeCourtofIndia

Singhvi: He is 35 kgs down, has become a skeleton. He has a right to a private hospital.

#SatyendarJain #SupremeCourt #SupremeCourtofIndia

Singhvi: He has muscular atrophy, lost 35 kgs...

#SatyendarJain #SupremeCourt #SupremeCourtofIndia

Singhvi: The man has vertebrae and spinal problems, down to 35 kgs, muscular atrophy, he is entitled to private hospital.

ASG Raju: As far as his weight is concerned, he is a Jain. They believe in fasting. He fasts. So weight comes down.

#SatyendarJain #SupremeCourt

Justice JK Maheshwari: This order is limited to medical grounds...We are inclined to consider the grant of interim bail on medical grounds.

#SatyendarJain #SupremeCourt #SupremeCourtofIndia

Justice JK Maheshwari: We provide 6 weeks to get treated in a private hospital of his choice. He shall be released on interim bail on conditions of trial court with an addition that the petitioner shall not influence and meet with any witnesses.

#SatyendarJain #SupremeCourt

Justice Maheshwari: He shall not leave the NCT Delhi. All relevant papers of treatment be produced before this court. This order shall remain in operation till 11th July. List on 10th July for further orders.

#SatyendarJain #SupremeCourt #SupremeCourtofIndia

ASG Raju: He should not give any press conference.

Justice JK Maheshwari: Okay, he shall not talk to the press or media on any issue.

#SatyendarJain #SupremeCourt #SupremeCourtofIndia

ASG Raju: He may also be independently evaluated.

Justice Maheshwari: That we will decide later.
