The Supreme Court on Monday allowed a two-month extension of the interim bail granted to M. Sivasankar, former principal secretary to the Kerala Chief Minister, who is facing money laundering charges in a corruption case linked to the State-powered LIFE Mission housing project for the homeless.
A Bench headed by Justice A.S. Bopanna allowed the leeway on medical grounds.
Mr. Sivasankar, through his counsel, informed the court that he had a spinal surgery scheduled in the second week of October. He had earlier undergone a surgery and was now in rehabilitation, using a walker.
