Chhagan Bhujbal had sought bail on medical grounds claiming that he was suffering from ailments.
Observing that no grounds are made out by the applicant to be granted bail on medical grounds, the Bombay High Court on Thursday rejected an application filed by former Deputy Chief Minister Chhagan Bhujbhal arrested for his alleged role in the Maharashtra Sadan scam.
Justice PN Deshmukh while turning down the application directed the prison authorities to provide him with the necessary medical aid as Bhujbhal is found to be suffering from several chronic ailments like
hypertension, diabetes, cardiac ailments and others.
Bhujbhal had sought bail on medical grounds claiming that he was suffering from ailments and did not want to take risk of being provided treatment after something had happened but instead as a precaution and on the advice of his doctors from Hinduja hospital, he had sought three months temporary bail.
Amit Desai counsel for Bhujbhal had pointed to several discrepancies in the report submitted by the nine members medical board constitutes on high court directions. However, the court refuted the discrepancies and accordingly dismissed the plea.
In May, the court had directed the dean of the JJ Hospital to constitute a medical board of minimum three doctors to examine arrested NCP leader Chhagan Bhujbhal, before it decided on the temporary bail application filed by Bhujbhal.
Bhujbal and his nephew Sameer are in judicial custody, following their arrest in connection with an Rs 840 crore money laundering case filed by the Enforcement Directorate. Bhujbal had earlier said the case was “concocted'' against him.
The case filed by the Enforcement Directorate concerns a contract for construction of Maharashtra Sadan in Delhi and alleged land grabbing at Kalina in Mumbai. Bhujbal had moved the high court for bail on
medical grounds.
