The directions by the Court came in a temporary bail application filed by Malik, presently admitted in the hospital for a medical emergency, seeking release from the Arthur Road Jail for six weeks where he is presently lodged in a money-laundering case involving underworld don Dawood Ibrahim.
Malik had filed the application for release on Friday through Rashmikant & Partners.
When the matter was taken up on Monday, his counsel Kushal Mor pointed out that Malik was suffering from vomiting, diarrhoea, fever and chills, and was urgently admitted to the JJ hospital in the afternoon.
He prayed that while the final hearing in the medical bail plea could be at the convenience of the Court, but right now Malik should be transferred to a private hospital of his choice where the doctors are aware of his medical history.
