Synopsis It would be in the interest of justice to shift Siddique Kappan - the arrestee, either to Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital or to All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) or any other Government Hospital in Delhi for the proper medical treatment. The needful shall in this regard be done at the earliest, the bench said in its order uploaded last Wednesday night.
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Wednesday ordered the Uttar Pradesh government to shift arrested journalists Siddique Kappan to a government hospital in Delhi for his treatment but disposed of the Kerala Union of Working Journalist s plea seeking his release.
The SC said once Kappan is treated and certified to be fine, he would be taken back to Mathura jail. “It is open for Kappan thereafter to apply for regular bai before a competent court,” the apex court said.
“We are confined to health issue. It is in the interest of the state also that the accused gets better treatment,” the bench observed.
