On the other hand, Rahul Mehra, Learned Standing Counsel argued that proper treatment is being given in jail, and if further treatment is required, that will be provided to the petitioner from the appropriate hospital.

Deliberating the case, the Single bench of Justice Suresh Kumar Kait dismissed the said application, however, directed the jail authorities to carry out necessary medical investigation within a period of two weeks and if required petitioner may be examined at any of the Super Speciality Hospitals and his medical report shall be communicated to him.

The court further added that even any dietary recommendations are made by the concerned doctor, jail authorities shall ensure that the same are followed and if necessary at the cost of the petitioner (as volunteered on his behalf). 

Subsequently, the court directed the Director of AIIMS to constitute a medical board and file a report. The court while pronouncing the order noted;

"It is not in dispute that after his admission in judicial custody, petitioner has lost 25 kgs. of weight, accordingly, I hereby direct the Director of AIIMS to constitute a medical board and file a report specifying therein whether petitioner is getting proper treatment including diet required for such a patient and also specify whether any surgery is required immediately."

"Accordingly, vide order dated 02.06.2020, this Court again directed the respondent State to provide medical reports/tests undergone and treatment being given to the petitioner in jail after 08.05.2020 to counsel for the petitioner within three days," the court added.
