Malik's legal representatives, Amit Desai, Taraq Sayad, Kushal Mor, and Rohan Dakshini, filed the bail application on medical grounds, citing his chronic kidney disease as the reason.
Last year in May, a dedicated court responsible for handling cases related to the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) declined to grant bail to Malik based on medical reasons. However, the court permitted him to seek treatment at a private hospital.
In his pursuit for bail, the 62-year-old politician has now approached the high court. He strongly refutes the allegations brought against him by the investigating agency, maintaining his innocence.
