Cash-for-vote case: Amar Singh moves HC for bail


Rajya Sabha MP Amar Singh, an accused in the 2008 cash-for-vote case, on Monday moved the Delhi High Court seeking bail.
Amar Singh moves for bail high court after his interim and regular bail pleas were rejected on 28th September by a Delhi court which had said his role was "major" in the entire episode aimed at "disgracing" parliamentary democracy.
Lower court  said the incident showed that Singh and other political functionaries, including arrested BJP leaders in the case, "stooped to a level beyond imagination" aimed at "subverting" the functioning of Parliament.
Singh, who is currently undergoing treatment at AIIMS, has been seeking bail on medical grounds while relying on his medical report, according to which his health condition was showing "overall improvement" but his renal condition was assessed prone to infection and needed constant monitoring.
Singh was arrested on 6th September after he appeared before the court in response to summons for his alleged involvement in the cash-for-vote scam.
