Kejriwal is a diabetic patient and his diet set by medical experts does not allow such food.
The Court had on April 1 passed an order allowing Kejriwal to have home cooked meals in prison in view of his health condition.
Subsequently, it had come to light that the home cooked meals had at times deviated from the diet prescribed by medical team.
Special Judge (PC) Act Kaveri Baweja also questioned the jail authorities for allowing such food items which were not part of its order and the medical prescription.
The Court said the jail authorities were all along aware about the food he was receiving from home but they neither brought the non-compliance of order to the court’s notice nor took any steps to ensure that he does not consume the food items not prescribed by his doctor.
“The Jail Authorities, in the present case, have also offered no explanation whatsoever, as to why the food items which were not as per order of this court dated 01.04.2024 and the medical prescription of the applicant, were allowed to be sent to him, in the first place,” the Judge said.
