Advocate Ram Jethmalani submitted to the court that the former SP leader is "a sick and infirm person."
A Delhi court will tomorrow decide the interim bail plea of Rajya Sabha MP Amar Singh, who is currently in lodged in Tihar Jail following his arrest in the 2008 cash-for-vote case.
Special Judge Sangita Dhingra Sehgal today reserved her order after hearing senior advocate Ram Jethmalani, who argued the case of the 55-year-old former Samajwadi Party general secretary.
Mr. Singh “is not going to die but is really sick,” Mr. Jethamalani pleaded while seeking his bail.
“Put up (the application) for order tomorrow,” the court directed as Mr. Jethmalani and Public Prosecutor Rajeev Mohan concluded their arguments.
The Tihar Jail authorities earlier submitted to the court the medical report on Singh’s health, saying the results of some of the tests were still awaited and that they would be available only by tomorrow.
Pressing for interim bail, Mr. Jethmalani said Mr. Singh has undergone kidney transplant and that he is also suffering from urinary tract infection now. These suggest that he is “a sick and infirm person,” he submitted.
While hearing Mr. Jethmalani’s argument for bail to Mr. Singh, the judge at one point asked him, “What is so pressing as far as medical condition is concerned today?”
Mr. Jethmalani responded saying Mr. Singh’s health condition is not good and even on merits there is nothing against him.
“It is not my case that I (Amar Singh) am going to die now, but I am really sick. There is nothing against me even on merits,” he said.
