2022 (9) TMI 1272 - HC - Money LaunderingSeeking grant of Interim Bail - applicant had suffered an incident on 14th July, 2022 of fainting and frothing from mouth with numbness of his limbs - whether the treatment in jail was unsatisfactory or inadequate? - HELD THAT:- The Supreme Court in State of UP [2020 (10) TMI 1281 - SUPREME COURT] was dealing with an appeal against an order passed by the Allahabad High Court, Lucknow Bench granting interim bail to an accused on medical grounds for a period of two months while directing the listing of the regular bail application for hearing. Here too the regular bail application has been listed for hearing on 26th September, 2022 in which bail has been sought on the merits of the case along with the interim bail application moved on grounds of ill health. This application as noted above is the second one pleading medical grounds. The decision of the Supreme Court has a direct bearing to this case. From the Status Report, it is amply clear that even the incident of 14th July, 2022 was dealt with promptly and effectively by the jail authorities and neither the doctors at DDU Hospital nor at the RML Hospital considered his condition to be of such a serious nature to call for hospitalisation. They rather advised review in Neurology and Medicines OPD. The Neurologist at GB Pant Hospital has advised neurosurgery evaluation, which it appears is yet to be carried out - there is nothing in the Status Report which would suggest to this Court that treatment was unsatisfactory or inadequate. No case has been revealed justifying directions for treatment of the applicant at any other hospital/medical institute. The documents that have been placed on the record by the applicant, are of doctors at Indore and in the application, he has sought interim bail to get himself neurologically evaluated in his “home town Indore Madhya Pradesh”. While not doubting the capabilities of the doctors at Indore nor the standard of medical care available at Indore, it would be absurd to hold that the otherwise able doctors at GB Pant Cardiology and Neurology Departments would have a lower degree of skill than the doctors at Indore, to evaluate the condition of the applicant and prescribe adequate treatment. The present condition of the applicant is also reported to be stable - No ground whatsoever has been made out for grant of interim bail. The present application is dismissed.
