Additional Solicitor General (ASG) SV Raju, appearing for ED, argued that Jain is taking advantage of his ministerial post.
He argued that it has been 46 days since Jain was arrested but he has not spent even a single day in jail.
“For 46 days he has taken advantage of being minister. He was arrested on May 30. He was remanded to judicial custody on 13 June. He has been in judicial custody since then. Till today it has been 46 days. He got himself admitted for 26 days in LNJP and before that he spent 20 days in jail dispensary,” it was argued.
Raju also cited the incident of West Bengal minister Partha Chatterjee where the Calcutta High Court passed a direction not to admit him into a State run hospital but instead take him to AIIMS Bhubaneshwar.
