The court added that meanwhile Kappan is at liberty to approach "the concerned courts for the grant of bail or to challenge the proceedings or for quashing the chargesheet”.

Saying that the “most precious fundamental right to life unconditionally embraces even an undertrial”, the Supreme Court on Wednesday directed that journalist Sidhique Kappan, arrested by the Uttar Pradesh Police and charged under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), be shifted to a government hospital in Delhi for better treatment.

“…owing to the apparent precarious health condition of the arrestee, it is necessary to provide adequate and effective medical assistance to him and to allay all apprehension relating to his health, it would be in the interest of justice to shift Sidhique Kappan… either to Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital or to All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) or any other Government Hospital in Delhi for the proper medical treatment,” said a bench headed by Chief Justice of India NV Ramana and with Justices Surya Kant and AS Bopanna, adding that after recovery, he can be sent back to Mathura jail.

The court added that meanwhile Kappan is at liberty to approach “the concerned courts for the grant of bail or to challenge the proceedings or for quashing the chargesheet”.

The direction came on an application by the Kerala Union of Working Journalists (KUWJ), which contended that Kappan had suffered a fall in the jail bathroom, following which he was admitted to K M Medical College in Mathura, and had also tested positive for Covid-19. It pleaded that he be shifted to AIIMS or Safdarjung Hospital in Delhi for proper treatment.
