Jain underwent surgery on July 21, and the interim medical-based bail granted to him has been consistently extended.
In the money laundering case, the top court on May 26 granted Satyendar Jain interim bail for a period of six weeks, subject to a number of restrictions, such as refraining from speaking with the media and not leaving Delhi without authorization.
The Supreme Court had granted Jain the option to select any hospital for his medical treatment. The court explicitly stated that interim bail is sanctioned on medical grounds.
Satyendar Jain has approached the Supreme Court to request bail in cases related to money laundering. He contested the decision of the Delhi High Court, which rejected his bail application in connection with the money laundering charges. Jain’s legal representative informed the Supreme Court that he has experienced a significant weight loss of 35 kg, transforming into a skeletal state as a result of these circumstances.
