New Delhi: The Tihar jail authorities informed the Delhi High Court on Monday that separatist leader and convicted Yasin Malik ended his hunger strike on November 8, 2024, and is being provided with the necessary medical treatment in accordance with jail rules.
The respondent authorities including the Centre and others also opposed the petition filed by convicted separatist leader Yasin Malik, who sought admission to AIIMS due to his alleged deteriorating health. The respondents requested additional time to review the medical status report submitted by the jail authorities before filing a response.
The court of Justice Jasmeet Singh after noting the submissions, scheduled the next hearing for November 18. In the meantime, it directed the jail authorities to ensure that Malik receives appropriate medical care in accordance with the jail manual.
The lawyer representing Yasin Malik expressed dissatisfaction with the rescheduling of the hearing, stating that the legal team will visit Malik at Tihar Jail at 2 pm today to verify the claims made by Tihar authorities that Malik ended his hunger strike on November 8, 2024.
The Delhi High Court on Friday issued a notice to the Centre, the Director General of Tihar Jail, and other relevant authorities in response to a plea filed by convicted Kashmiri separatist leader Yasin Malik. Malik claims he has been on a hunger strike since November 1 due to the alleged denial of necessary medical treatment.
After considering the submissions, the court sought a medical status report of Malik from the concerned jail superintendent. In the interim, the court directed the jail authorities to ensure that Malik receives the required medical treatment in compliance with jail rules.
Convicted Kashmiri separatist leader Yasin Malik, currently imprisoned at Tihar Jail in Delhi, has filed a petition with the Delhi High Court, stating that he has been on a hunger strike since November 1. Malik is protesting what he claims is the denial of his fundamental rights, including proper medical treatment and attention to his health issues, by the Tihar Jail authorities.
