A Delhi court today dismissed the anticipatory bail plea of Cineyug Films Director, Mr Karim Morani, an accused in the 2G spectrum allocation case.
Special CBI Judge, Mr O.P. Saini dismissed Mr Morani’s plea seeking anticipatory bail on health grounds, saying his medical condition is “normal and stable“.
The court has now directed Mr Morani to appear before it tomorrow. “In view of the medical condition of the accused (Morani) being normal and stable, I am satisfied that no case for anticipatory bail on medical ground is made out. The application is without merit and the same is dismissed,” the court said.
Senior advocate Mr Siddharth Luthra, appearing for Mr Morani had submitted before the court that the medical condition of Mr Morani is not such that he should be placed under custody as he may not be able to bear the stressful environment of being placed in custody.
“I may also add that in case of need, proper medical facilities are available in Tihar jail itself and if an undertrial/prisoner requires any further treatment, he is immediately taken to RML hospital or AIIMS, as per the requirement of the situation...
“So proper medical facilities are available to all prisoners in case of necessity and this ground cannot be pressed now when as good facilities as are available outside are available to an undertrial in the jail itself,” the court said.
