He has gone to the hospital for at least 10 times.” He saidthe hospital doesn’t give information about its client’s medical history.

Justice Devani said, “In that case we would like to see all travel tickets and other details… Which hospital doesn’t give such information?” Following the brief hearing, the bench opined that it would reject the petition, after which Bajrangi’s lawyer requested to withdraw the plea.
