The Delhi High Court has declined interim bail for Hyderabad businessman Arun Ramchandran Pillai, who is held in judicial custody over the alleged Delhi Excise scam. Justice Ravinder Dudeja noted that Pillai is getting adequate medical care in jail.
Pillai requested interim bail on medical grounds, citing the need for a 21-day panchkarma therapy. However, the court maintained that Pillai should adhere to the treatment suggested by the jail doctors. The court dismissed the application, emphasizing the necessity of medical grounds for seeking bail.
Pillai's counsel argued his condition was not improving with the current treatment, while the ED's counsel countered that there was no expert recommendation for panchkarma therapy. The court concluded there was sufficient medical provision in jail, underscoring that the jail authorities are responsible for the inmate's healthcare.
