ED moves Delhi HC challenging Supertech’s RK Arora interim bail order

On Thursday, the Enforcement Directorate filed a case in Delhi High Court contesting the Trial Court’s 30-day interim bail that Supertech’s chairman and promoter R K Arora had been granted due to medical and health reasons. In June of last year, RK Arora was taken into custody in relation to a money laundering case. The accused was granted bail by Patiala House Court on January 16, 2024, on the grounds that the accused has the right to receive treatment from any hospital, even a private one, at his own expense, as recognized by the Supreme Court.

“It is a matter of fact that the government institutions/Super Specialty hospitals are already overburdened. The over-burdened government medical institutions/ Super Specialty Hospitals are not required to be directed to prepone the date of surgery of the applicant/accused at the cost of other citizens/patients who have already obtained the said date in advance,” said the trial Court.
The Trial Court Judge Devender Kumar Jangala granted bail on a personal bail bond of one lac and two like amount surety. Recently, Arora moved interim bail citing health grounds that he had lost 10 kg weight in custody.
Earlier, Advocate Tanveer Ahmad Mir, who appeared for RK Arora during arguments sought direction to release the applicant on interim bail on medical grounds stating that he is inflicted with such ailments for which interim bail is required. The medical reports show that as of this date, the applicant is not only sick but the sickness has also resulted in an infirmity.
