A representative of Lilavati Hospital on Tuesday submitted the medical records of deceased Shiv Sena leader Bal Thackeray to the Bombay High Court. The records pertaining to Thackeray’s medical condition between November and December 2011 were submitted as per the court’s directions.
The court was hearing the matter challenging the probate of Bal Thackeray’s will by his son and present Shiv Sena leader Uddhav Thackeray.
Uddhav’s elder brother and Balasaheb’s estranged son Jaidev Thackeray has challenged the will on the ground that Balasaheb was of unsound mind while signing it. According to the will, Mr. Jaidev will not inherit anything from his father.
On Tuesday, two volumes of medical records, running into 60 pages, were submitted to the court. Mr. Jaidev’s counsel Seema Sarnaik sought time to inspect the records. She said she would not be able to cross examine Dr. Jaleel Parkar, one of the attesting witnesses of the will, properly without studying the medical records.
The court was to record Dr. Parkar's statement on Tuesday.
