A Delhi court today issued a notice to the Medical Superintendent of AIIMS seeking medical reports of former BSP MP Dhananjay Singh's wife Jagriti who is accused, along with her husband, in a case relating to murder of their maid.
Additional Sessions Judge Lokesh Kumar Sharma directed the Medical Superintendent to depute any officer to appear before the court with the medical records of Jagriti, who is seeking interim bail on health grounds, on the next date of hearing on October 21.
The order came after the authorities of Tihar jail, where Jagriti is kept under judicial custody, informed it that despite 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, told the court that AIIMS has given a probable date of December 23 for surgery of Jagriti, who is suffering from gall bladder stone, and it is subject to availability of bed in the hospital.
"She (Jagriti) does not want to carry the stone further. She should be granted interim bail so that she could undergo surgery soon," Dubey said adding there might be complications in the surgery as Jagriti is having only one kidney.
However, the court observed if doctors at AIIMS have given a probable date in December then there might be no urgency for the surgery.
"Let a notice be issued to the Medical Superintendent, AIIMS, to depute an officer to appear with entire record of accused Jagriti for October 21," the judge said adding he would go through the medical records of the accused.
The jail authorities had earlier informed the court that Jagriti was taken to the AIIMS for a check-up.
The court had on October 14 asked Tihar Jail authorities to explain why medical records of Jagriti were not placed before it despite a specific direction.
Jagriti has, in her plea seeking interim bail, said that she needed to undergo surgery for her ailment due to her deteriorating health condition.
