Malviya Nagar hotel fire: Delhi HC seeks report on hotel owner's health
The Delhi High Court on Tuesday sought a report from the Ram Manohar Lohia (RML) Hospital here regarding the health of the jailed owner of a Malviya Nagar hotel where a fire claimed 23 lives in June.
Justice Manoj Jain passed the order on a plea by Lovkesh Bajaj seeking interim bail in the case on the grounds that he was suffering from intestinal obstructions and his condition was "serious".
Noting that Bajaj was admitted in the hospital since August 24, Justice Jain directed, "Let a comprehensive report be sought form the RML Hospital." The court listed the matter for hearing tomorrow.
Bajaj, presently in judicial custody, is named as an accused in the case over the fire at the five-storey 'Flourish Stay' B&B in Hauz Rani on June 3, in which 23 people were killed, while 24 others suffered grievous injuries.
On September 3, a trial court rejected his plea seeking interim bail of four weeks on medical grounds, saying he was already receiving adequate specialised medical treatment .
