SC extends by five weeks interim bail to ex-minister

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday extended the interim bail granted to former Delhi minister Satyendar Jain by five weeks turning down the demand by the Enforcement Directorate to have the senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader examined by an independent team of doctors from All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) after two weeks
Taking note of his medical condition as Jain underwent a spinal surgery on July 21, the bench of justices AS Bopanna and Bela M Trivedi extended the bail granted to him on May 26, by five weeks.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) represented by additional solicitor general (ASG) SV Raju did not oppose the grant of bail. However, he requested the court to extend bail by two weeks and get the former minister examined by an independent medical board comprising AIIMS doctors. ED alleged that since Jain was the former health minister of Delhi he could easily fudge his medical records.
The bench said, "You should not be too harsh," while agreeing to consider ED's request after five weeks.
