2023 (6) TMI 247 - GUJARAT HIGH COURTRemand application - Money Laundering - operation of the large scale Havala racket in international cricket betting through U.K. based website - HELD THAT:- The grounds as observed for rejection of remand application is noting the medical condition of the accused on record, as was perused of the medical check up certificate issued by the Medical Officer of VS hospital, Ahmedabad and accordingly, it was observed that the blood pressure of the accused was very high. No other medical condition was noted to suggest any imminent danger to the life of the respondent. No such ailment or illness has been noted which would not permit the respondent to face the custodial interrogation. The only observation is of the applicant suffering from blood pressure which is noted to be high. However that medical condition of the respondent could be taken care of by providing medicine to control his blood pressure and it may be possible that the respondent himself may be under such medication. However, if necessary, the respondent can always take the assistance of the medical doctor during the course of interrogation as it would be the duty of the applicant as provided under Section 55A of the Cr.P.C. to take reasonable care of the health and safety of the accused. In view of the provision of Section 55A of the Cr.P.C., the applicant would be under duty to take all reasonable care to see that the health and safety of the accused is protected. So any apprehension raised by the respondent about his life is unfounded as investigating officer of Directorate of Enforcement would have to ensure about the safety of the accused. The order order dated 8.4.2023 passed by the learned Special Designated Judge (PMLA), Ahmedabad (Rural) at Mirzapur is quashed and set aside and the applicant is granted the remand of the respondent accused for 4 (four) days - Application allowed.
