Medical bail refused where detainee was under close supervision and updated reports showed a stable condition.

Bail on medical grounds was refused because the detainee was already under adequate medical supervision and the updated prison medical report showed his condition to be moderately stable. Although the application relied on serious ailments and vulnerability to infection, the Court accepted that he had been examined and treated at J. J. Hospital, remained under close observation by prison medical officers in consultation with hospital doctors, and was regularly taken for follow-up treatment. On that factual basis, no sufficient ground existed to enlarge him on medical grounds.

Issues: Whether the applicant was entitled to bail on medical grounds.

Analysis: The application was supported by medical claims including serious ailments and vulnerability to infection. The prison medical report recorded that the applicant had been examined and treated at J. J. Hospital, was under close observation of prison medical officers in consultation with hospital doctors, was regularly taken for follow-up treatment, and that his overall health was moderately stable. In view of the updated medical report, the Court found no basis to grant bail on medical grounds.

Conclusion: Bail on medical grounds was refused.

Ratio Decidendi: Bail on medical grounds is not warranted where the detainee is under adequate medical supervision and the medical condition is reported to be stable.
