New Delhi: The Supreme Court registry on Wednesday, May 29, refused urgent listing of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s plea seeking extension of his interim bail by seven days for undergoing certain medical tests. Arvind Kejriwal is set to surrender before the Tihar jail authorities on June 2.
Honorable Supreme Court registry refused to accept the application, saying since Arvind Kejriwal was given liberty to move the trial court for regular bail, the petition is not maintainable.
Earlier on May 28, a vacation bench of the Supreme Court comprising Justices JK Maheshwari and KV Viswanathan took note of the submissions of senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi, appearing for the Delhi chief minister, and said the Chief Justice of India could take the decision on the listing of the interim plea as the judgment has been reserved in the main matter.
Arvind Kejriwal’s plea sought the extension of his interim bail by seven days to undergo a host of medical tests, including a PET-CT scan, for his “sudden and unexplained weight loss coupled with high ketone levels”, which are indicative of kidney, serious cardiac ailments and even cancer.
