The Delhi High Court on Tuesday restrained former defence minister George Fernandes’s wife Leila Kabir and son Sean from taking the veteran socialist leader to the US for treatment of Alzheimer’s. Justice V K Shali rejected the argument of Leila Kabir’s counsel that in view of Fernandes’s health,he was required to be taken to the US. The matter will be further heard on April 26.

The High Court was hearing the plea of Richard Fernandes,brother of George Fernandes,who alleged that they could not meet the leader as he was in the confinement of his wife and son. According to the petition,Kabir and Sean returned to George Fernandes’s life after two decades,saying his friends and brothers want to grab his property worth over Rs 2.50 crore.

Fernandes,79,was under ayurvedic medication at the Patanjali Yogpeeth in Haridwar till date. “Kabir and Fernandes had forcibly taken Fernandes to an undisclosed location on the pretext of giving him medical care,” states the petition.
