CRM-M-10511-2010 (O&M) [ 1 ] ::::::: IN TH E HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CRM-M-10511-2010 (O&M) Date of decision:14.12.2011 Puran Singh ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ...Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR JAIN Present: Mr. Naresh Jain, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. A.S.Rai, DAG, Punjab. Mr. Jasjit Singh, Advocate, for the complainant. ***** Rakesh Kumar Jain, J. This is a petition for grant of pre-arrest bail in a case registered vide FIR No.53 dated 20.03.2010, under Section 15(3) of the Indian Medical Council, Act, 1956 and Section 420 of IPC at Police Station Sadar, Ferozepur, District Ferozepur. The allegation against the petitioner is that he being not qualified had administered injection in the navel of the complainant who was suffering from stomach ache, which left him paralytic. After remaining unsuccessful before the learned Court below, the petitioner has applied for pre-arrest bail before this Court. On 08.04.2010, while issuing notice and granting interim bail, this Court had noticed that the petitioner had qualified the Community Medical Services and Essential Drugs course examination from the Council of Para Medical Sciences, Mohali which is registered under the SR Act XXI of 1860. Thereafter, it was brought to the notice of the Court that out of wrong administration of medicine/injection, the complainant had become handicapped. At one point of time, the matter was even CRM-M-10511-2010 (O&M) [ 2 ] ::::::: referred to the Permanent Lok Adalat by this Court to explore the possibility of a compromise between the parties but that could not be materialized. It was projected before the Court by the learned counsel for the complainant that it is the Para Medical Council, Punjab which is registered and not the Council of Para Medical Sciences, Mohali and the the degree/diploma of the petitioner is of unregistered society/council and he is a quack who is guilty under Section 420 IPC also. In this view of the matter, the Court had called the Director, Health and Family Welfare, Punjab who had appeared and submitted that the concerned person is the Director, Research and Medical Education, Punjab. Hence, the notice was issued to him, pursuant to which Dr. Jai Kishan, Director, Research and Medical Education, Punjab appeared and had categorically submitted that the Council for Para Medical Sciences, Mohali, from where the petitioner had passed his degree/diploma, is not registered with the Department of Research and Medical Education, Punjab. Learned counsel for the complainant had also placed on record certificates Annexures R-2 and R-3 to contend that the certificates of the petitioner given by the Council of Para Medical Sciences, Mohali are of an institute which is unregistered, whereas the Para Medical Council, Punjab is a registered body. It is a matter of great concern that the petitioner is alleged to have given injection to the complainant in his navel because of stomach ache, which led to a crisis of paralysis. Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case, I am of the view that the petitioner does not deserve the concession of anticipatory bail. Hence, the present petition is hereby dismissed and the interim order dated 08.04.2010 granted by this Court is hereby withdrawn. December 14, 2011 (Rakesh Kumar Jain) vinod* Judge
