Bombay High Court reserves order on granting medical bail to activist poet Varavara Rao

Firstpost  

Mumbai: Of the 365 days since last February, jailed activist-poet Varavara Rao spent 149 days in the hospital, his counsel Indira Jaising told the Bombay High Court Monday to highlight his poor health condition and push for interim bail in the case of the Elgar-Parishad-Maoist links. The fact that Rao spent almost half the time in several hospitals made clear his poor health condition, Jaising said while arguing that the 82-year-old poet’s continued incarceration was a breach of his fundamental right to life and health. The bench was hearing a writ petition and a medical bail plea filed by Rao through his counsel, senior advocate Anand Grover, and a writ petition filed by Rao’s wife Pendyala Hemlatha, through Jaising, alleging a breach of his fundamental rights due to continued incarceration. Responding to the Maharashtra government’s previous statement that once discharged from private Nanavati Hospital, Rao will be sent to the prison ward of the state-run JJ Hospital, and not the Taloja prison, Grover said keeping the poet in the government facility would amount to “torture.” The National Investigation Agency, however, maintained that given the state’s assurance of sending Rao to the JJ Hospital, the court need not grant him medical bail.
