New Delhi, 10th July. The Supreme Court on Monday extended on medical grounds the interim bail granted to former Delhi minister Satyendar Jain in a money laundering case being investigated by the Enforcement Directorate till July 24.
Senior counsel Abhishek Singhvi, representing Jain, was directed by a panel of justices A S Bopanna and M M Sundresh to send the medical reports to Additional Solicitor General S V Raju.
Singhvi stated during the brief session that three hospitals recommended surgery for Jain.
On May 26, the Supreme Court granted Jain interim bail for six weeks on medical grounds, stating that a citizen has the right to get treatment of his choice at a private hospital at his own expense.
The ED arrested Jain on May 30, last year, on allegations of money laundering through four entities reportedly related to him.

On September 6, 2019, the trial court granted him regular bail in the case filed by the CBI.
