Medical Superintendent of AIIMS was today directed by a Delhi court to file all the medical records of former BSP MP Dhananjay Singh's wife Jagriti who along with her husband is accused in a case relating to murder of their maid.
Additional Sessions Judge Lokesh Kumar Sharma asked the Medical Superintendent to file the documents on October 30 after the officer sent a report to the court that the hospital could not send Jagriti's records as it was not with it.
The court had earlier also issued a notice to the Medical Superintendent to depute any officer to appear before it with medical records of Jagriti, who is seeking interim bail on health grounds.
The court has fixed the matter for further proceedings on October 30.
The order had come after the authorities of Tihar jail, where Jagriti is lodged under judicial custody, informed the judge that despite the court order, All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) officials were not forwarding the medical reports of the accused to them.
Advocate P K Dubey, who appeared for Jagriti, had told the court that AIIMS has given a probable date of December 23 for surgery of Jagriti, who is suffering from gall bladder stone problem, and it is subject to availability of bed in the hospital.
The jail authorities had earlier informed the court that Jagriti was taken to AIIMS for a check-up.
Jagriti, in her plea seeking interim bail, has said that she needed to undergo surgery for her ailment due to her deteriorating health condition and she has only one kidney.
The police had chargesheeted Jagriti for various offences punishable under the IPC, including sections 302 (murder), 307 (attempt to murder), 344 (illegal confinement), 506 (criminal intimidation) and 201 (destruction of evidence).
Dhananjay was chargesheeted for various offences under IPC, including allegedly destroying evidence and abetting the offence of murder and attempt to murder. Dhananjay is at present out on interim bail.
Both the accused were arrested on November 5, last year in connection with the death of their 35-year-old maid Rakhi Bhadra, a resident of West Bengal.
Bhadra's body, with injury marks on her legs, chest and arms, was recovered from Dhananjay's South Avenue residence here on the evening of November 4, last year.
