DA case: Court asks AIIMS director to examine Ajay Chautala

The director of AIIMS has been asked by a special court to get INLD leader Ajay Chautala, facing trial in a disproportionate case, examined by a team of doctors and file a report on his medical condition.

Taking note of the fact that Ajay, son of former Haryana Chief Minister Om Prakash Chautala, has been repeatedly seeking exemption from appearance in the court on the ground that he has been admitted at Medanta Hospital in Gurgaon, special CBI judge Sanjay Garg-I said a second opinion should be taken from the doctors of AIIMS on his medical condition.

A report was called from the private hospital's medical superintendent (MS) regarding his medical condition. The MS in the July 6 report mentioned the medical status which had necessitated his admission in ICU on June 18, the court noted.

It also directed the MS of AIIMS to file <g data-gr-id="18">report</g> on the next date of hearing, Aug <g data-gr-id="20">25,</g> and also asked the jail superintendent to produce Ajay before the MS after taking prior appointment.
