The apex court bench of justice GS Singhvi and justice HL Dattu instead, asked Morani to approach the jail authorities for his treatment and the enforcement of the Delhi High Court direction in this respect.

The Central Bureau of Investigation named Morani as a co-conspirator in a charge sheet after it traced to him an illegal money trail of Rs 214 crore in the scam.

The apex court bench while declining his plea said that merely because a person was an accused, no court would say that you cannot be given treatment.
