New Delhi: The Tihar jail and AIIMS authorities are expected to file a report on former Samajwadi leader Amar Singh's medical condition before the Tees Hazari Court on Wednesday. Rajya Sabha MP Amar Singh was arrested for his role in the 2008 Cash-for-votes scam and has been in AIIMS since Monday, following health complications.
The Tihar jail authorities were asked by a Delhi court on Tuesday to explain by Wednesday as to what "necessitated" shifting Rajya Sabha MP Amar Singh, arrested for his alleged role in cash-for-vote scam, to AIIMS on Tuesday evening.
The court was scheduled to pronounce its verdict on Singh's interim bail plea today but it deferred the same and listed the matter for further hearing on September 15.
Special Judge Sangita Dhingra Sehgal also ordered the jail authorities and the AIIMS Director to furnish a report on Singh's medical condition by 12 noon on Wednesday.
"Let the jail authorities send their report positively at or before 12 pm (noon) on September 14. The jail authorities are also directed to furnish a complete report on the medical condition of the accused (Amar Singh) which necessitated his shifting to the AIIMS on the evening of September 12," the court said.
The court also asked the AIIMS Director to apprise it of the medical condition of former Samajwadi Party General Secretary from the time of his hospitalization there.
"The Director of AIIMS shall also send a report on the medical condition of the accused (Amar Singh) from the time of his admission in AIIMS and his present position positively at
or before 12 pm (noon) on September 14.
"Let the application for grant of interim bail be posted for arguments on September 15 at 10 am," the judge said.
The court also asked the AIIMS, where Amar Singh was shifted on Monday night, to submit his "entire medical record" before it.
