Her regular bail application is pending before a Delhi court and the matter will be heard on April 20.
Not expressing any opinion on the merits of the matter, the bench said that they are inclined to extend interim order till the next date of hearing.
At the very outset, senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, appearing for Jain, submitted that the matter may be adjourned because Justice A.S. Bopanna, who presides over the special bench, is not sitting owing to illness.
The former Delhi minister was given an extension of two weeks after the bench was informed that three hospitals - GB Pant, Apollo, and Max - have recommended surgery.
Delhi police had filed a charge sheet against Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh and Vinod Tomar on June 15.
Senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi appraised the apex court of medical report by three hospitals – GB Pant, Appollo, and Max – recommending surgery.
While granting bail to Sharma for three weeks on June 5, the top court had asked him to furnish a medical report disclosing the progress in the treatment of his wife.
The apex court brushed aside the ED’s objections to the veracity of the medical papers produced by the former Delhi minister.
The court also imposed various conditions including neither talking with the media nor leaving Delhi without permission.
The single bench division court headed by Justice K. Natarajan after granting interim anticipatory bail, directed the accused MLA to appear before the investigation officer within 48 hours of the order.
