Bombay High Court refuses to grant immediate relief to Dawood gang member

Mumbai: Bombay High Court has refused to grant immediate relief to Arif Abubakar Shaikh, an alleged member of the D-Company, who approached the court as he is suffering from a host of diseases and is not receiving proper treatment at the KEM Hospital.

The vacation bench of the Bombay High Court consisting of Justices Amit Borkar and Kamal Khata was hearing an application moved by Shaikh seeking temporary bail.

Shaikh, who was arrested by the National Investigation Agency in May last year, had claimed he was suffering from various ailments such as poor vision, uncontrolled diabetes and piles.

Defence advocate Sandeep Karnik, representing Shaikh, in his plea contended alleged that Shaikh, who is lodged at Arthur Road Jail, is suffering from serious ailments and that his health was deteriorating as he had developed piles and there was heavy blood loss.

He also said that his client did not receive proper treatment at the hospital and was not admitted to the hospital.

Karnik also submitted that the court’s earlier order was to admit Shaikh at KEM Hospital as it referred to his health condition and directed proper treatment to him.

Special public prosecutor Aruna S Pai, representing the NIA, while opposing Shaikh’s plea for interim bail, submitted that treatment can be made available at any government hospital and he can be admitted therein.

Pai added that if treatment was not available at a government hospital, the applicant’s prayer-seeking treatment at a private hospital can be considered.
