Bombay High Court hears plea seeking bail for Dr Varavara Rao on medical grounds [LIVE UPDATES]

The Bombay High Court is hearing the plea moved by Pendyala Hemlatha, the wife of poet-activist Dr Varavara Rao, for his immediate release on bail citing medical grounds.

At the previous hearing, the High Court directed that a medical examination be conducted to gauge Rao's health status.

The Bench had also asked the examining doctors to factor in a medical report issued by the Taloja Central Prison which seemed to suggest that the accused is being attended to on a regular basis in consultation of Nanavati Hospital.
