The Supreme Court on Monday rejected the interim bail plea of Cineyug Films Founder Karim Morani, who is jailed for the past 2 months for his alleged involvement in the 2G spectrum scam.
Morani had sought the interim bail to undergo treatment.
The apex court justices of Singhvi and H.L. Dattu asked Morani to approach the jail authorities for his treatment and the enforcement of the Delhi High Court direction in this regard.
The CBI had traced him for his alleged involvement in the scam wherein the illegal money was traced to be around Rs. 214 crore in the scam.
The apex court while rejecting bail plea told to his lawyer Siddharth Luthra that merely because a person was an accused, no court would deny to give him the necessary treatment.
The court said that even after approaching the jail authoritie, if he feels aggrieved then he could move an appropriate judicial forum.
Luthra told the court that Morani suffered from an ailment that resulted in his going blank and his pulse rate becomes highly uncertain. The senior counsel states this to be as a result of stress and physical exhaustion in custody.
The apex court said that the High Court order was explicit as it said that if the desired treatment was not availbale at the government's G.B. Pant Hospital then thepetitioner could approach whichever hospital where it was available.
