NCP leader and former Maharashtra minister Nawab Malik's petition for bail was heard at the Bombay High Court earlier today.
Post the hearing, the court accepted that the condition of Malik, arrested in the money laundering case, is critical and agreed to hear his bail application next week on February 28. Taking cognizance of Malik's health during the hearing, the court agreed to accept his bail plea at the earliest. The NCP leader demanded bail on medical grounds, where Justice MS Karnik asked his lawyer Amit Desai to convince the court that his health situation is critical, while after a brief hearing in the court today Justice Karnik agreed that his client's health is serious. Desai told the court that his client Malik has been in jail for more than a year, and one of his kidneys has failed while the other kidney is not working properly. It takes near about 2-3 weeks to take court's permission to undergo any medical test. Nawab Malik was arrested by ED in a money laundering case and is currently admitted to a private hospital in Kurla, where he is undergoing treatment, ED on the other hand has been opposing Malik's bail.
