Bengaluru: Karnataka High Court has ordered the Air Force Command Hospital here to submit a health check-up report of Karwar MLA Satish Sail, who is facing an Enforcement Directorate (ED) case over involvement in illegal transportation and sale of ore from the Belekeri port.
Justice S Sunil Dutt Yadav on Thursday heard a petition filed by Satish Sail challenging the order of the Special Court of People’s Representatives, which issued a non-bailable arrest warrant (NBW) for not cooperating with the investigation and also cancelled the interim medical bail granted to him in a money laundering case registered by the ED.
The judge, after hearing the arguments, ordered that Sail be tested by a gastroenterologist at the Air Force Command Hospital in Bengaluru at 11:30 am on Saturday, November 15. The judge directed the legislator to submit all his health-related reports to the doctor. He told the Hospital authorities to verify the medical documents, check the MLA’s health and submit the report before the court.
The bench added that, if the Air Force Command Hospital had no gastroenterologist, Sail’s health was to be checked in a similar manner by a specialist at a different hospital suggested by the Air Force Command Hospital.
The interim medical bail granted to Sail has been extended till November 20 by the High Court.
