During the brief hearing, Singhvi submitted that three hospitals have recommended surgery for Jain. The top court on May 26 had granted interim bail to Jain for six weeks on medical grounds, saying a citizen has a right to receive treatment of his choice in a private hospital at his own expense.

The ED had arrested Jain on May 30 last year on the charge of laundering money through four companies allegedly linked to him. The agency had arrested Jain in the aftermath of a CBI FIR registered against him in 2017 under the Prevention of Corruption Act. He was granted regular bail by the trial court on September 6, 2019 in the case registered by the CBI.

Meanwhile, the top court will hear the bail petition of former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on July 14, PTI reported. The matter was mentioned before the Supreme Court on Monday by senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi citing the ill health of Sisodia's wife Seema Sisodia. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader moved the Supreme Court on Thursday to challenge the Delhi High Court order that denied him bail in both CBI and ED cases pertaining to the new Excise Policy of the Delhi Government, reported ANI.

He was first arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation on February 26 for his alleged role in the scam and has been in custody since then. The high court has already denied him bail in the CBI case on May 30.
