The court reprieve for Jain in a money laundering case comes a day after he was put on oxygen support and admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of Delhi's Lok Nayak Hospital (LNH) for further treatment after he fell in a bathroom in Tihar jail. Doctors at LNH, a Delhi government facility, said on Thursday that Jain was put on pain medicines for temporary relief, and that they were formulating a treatment plan for him. Jain, who helmed several important portfolios as a minister, including health and prison, was arrested by ED on May 30 last year. This is the first time that Jain will be released in over a year.
Granting interim bail to Jain for a little over six weeks, a bench of justices JK Maheshwari and PS Narasimha said that the court was granting him relief only on medical grounds and that it would examine his latest medical reports on July 10 to consider further orders.
While ED, through additional solicitor general SV Raju, claimed that LNH's medical reports could be fudged since Jain has served as Delhi's health minister, the bench retorted: "It is (medical reports) not something that has come overnight.
It has happened over a period of time." The top court, which will hear the matter next on July 10, restrained Jain from talking to the media while granting him bail. It directed him against influencing witnesses, tampering with evidence, or leaving Delhi.
The AAP did not respond to HT's request for comment.
