Jharkhand: The Jharkhand high court on Friday rejected ailing Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad’s plea for extension of provisional bail period for another three months and asked him to surrender by August 30.
Moving the court for a third extension of provisional bail for continuing treatment at a super-specialty hospital in Mumbai, Prasad, who had undergone surgery for anal fistula, said that his health condition has not improved as the infection continues.
Rejecting his plea for further extension of bail, a bench of justice Aparesh Kumar Singh observed that Prasad’s current health condition was not life-threatening. “The treatment for post-fistula surgery could be availed here at the Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), “ the bench said, asking him to surrender by August 30.
