Senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi mentioned the case before a bench of Justices M M Sundresh and Vinod Chandran and the case has been listed before a bench of Justices P S Narasimha and R Mahadevan.
Rohatgi submitted that hearing on Jagdishan's plea before the Bombay High Court was getting delayed as three judges so far recused themselves in the case and pleaded that he was left with no option but to approach SC, as the case had now been posted to July 14.
The FIR was lodged in Bandra Police Station and as per the complaint filed by the Trust, Jagdishan allegedly accepted a bribe of Rs 2.05 crore in exchange for providing financial advice to help the Chetan Mehta Group retain illegal and undue control over the Trust's governance.
The Trust claimed that Jagdishan and his family received free medical treatment from Lilavati Hospital.
The matter was mentioned before the HC on June 30, when Jagdishan's counsel pressed for interim relief. However, noting that there is no urgency in the matter, the HC listed the matter for July 14. This prompted him to move the SC for relief. tnn
