PC :- 1. The petitioner had moved this application through jail, complaining that he was not receiving proper medical care. By our earlier order, we directed the respondents to provide medical care to the petitioner. The doctor’s report was filed, which shows that prisoner is a chronic tobacco chewer, and was unable to eat spicy food. The doctor suggested the treatment. Now, the application has been filed by the petitioner, requesting that he should be sent for biopsy, as the petitioner suspects that he may be suffering from the cancer of mouth. It is for the doctor to decide the line of investigation and - 2 - treatment and take care of the condition of health of the petitioner. We leave it to the doctors concerned. If they feel that further investigations are needed, they shall do so immediately. 2. In view of the aforesaid directions, the petition is dismissed. Sd/- [ BILAL NAZKI, J.] Sd/- [ A. A.
