teachers’ recruitment
scam case.
The 78-year-old Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) chief has been on interim bail since 21 May on medical grounds and recently underwent a pacemaker
implant surgery.

While extending Chautala’s bail, Justice Siddharth Mridul took on record the report on his health condition from a private hospital where he is undergoing treatment.

The court also recorded the submission of INLD leader’s counsel UU Lalit that as per the report, the hospital will take a decision on his client’s fitness for discharge after re-evaluating his health condition in two weeks.

To this submission, the Central Bureau of Investigation counsel Rajdeepa Bahura argued that the private hospital’s re-evaluation report should be examined by a medical board.
