SC Grants Interim Bail To AAP Leader Satyendar Jain For 6 Weeks On Medical Grounds

The Supreme Court on Friday granted interim bail to AAP Leader and ex-Delhi Cabinet Minister, Satyendar Jain on medical grounds.

Satyendar Jain has been detained since May 2022 as an undertrial in a money laundering case.

The order was passed by a vacation bench consisting of Justices JK Maheshwari and PS Narasimha.

The bench granted Jain interim bail for six weeks so that he may be treated at a private hospital of his choice. The bail will be subject to the conditions imposed by the trial court.

The bench also stated that Satyendar Jain will not go before the media “to make any statement on any issue” and will not seek to influence the witnesses.

The bench rejected the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) objection that Jain be examined independently by AIIMS Delhi. It stated that this petition will be considered at a later date.

The case will be heard again on July 11, when the bench will consider Jain’s most recent medical reports.
