The Supreme Court on March 16 dismissed the plea for interim bail of former Fortis Healthcare promoter Shivinder Mohan Singh who along with others is accused of misappropriating ₹2,397 crore of Religare Finvest Ltd. (RFL) funds.
Mr. Singh had sought interim bail for a short period on “humanitarian grounds” for helping his ailing mother to take part in the last rituals of his maternal uncle, who died on March 8 in Haryana.
“We are of the opinion that the presence of the accused was not a must...,” said a Bench of Justices M.R. Shah and B.V. Nagrathna while dismissing the plea.
