New Delhi:2.11.2019
The Delhi high court was informed on Friday that according to AIIMS medical board the health condition of former finance minister P Chidambaram, who is suffering from Crohn’s disease and lodged in Tihar jail in the INX Media money laundering case, is fine and does not require hospitalisation.
Solicitor general Tushar Mehta read out the report of the medical board, set up on the court’s order to examine Chidambaram’s health condition, and told Justice Suresh Kait that the Congress leader was physically examined by the doctors in the morning and does not require a sterile environment.
The court was hearing 74-year old Chidambaram’s plea for interim bail in the case, filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), on medical grounds saying his condition is deteriorating and he needs to be in a sterile environment.
After going through the report, the court directed the Tihar jail superintendent that the surroundings of Chidambaram should be clean and hygienic and he should be provided homecooked food, mineral water, mosquito protection net and repellant and that his dwelling area be cleaned twice a day. The court added that he should be provided face mask which he can wear, if the need arises.
Besides, the judge directed that Chidambaram’s regular blood pressure monitoring, sugar test and other medical tests should be done and periodical follow up as an out patient be done once a week.
The court disposed of the plea after senior advocate Kapil Sibal, representing Chidambaram, said they do not require any further direction. Crohn’s disease refers to the inflammation of the digestive tract leading to abdominal pain, diarrhoea and also weight loss. AGENCIES
