This petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India by petitioner Jarnail Singh is in the nature of habeas corpus for issuance of a direction to Dayanand Medical -2- Criminal Writ Petition No.1632 of 2009. College and Hospital, Ludhiana (for short `D.M.C) to release the alleged detenue Shinder Kaur from its (D.M.C's) illegal custody. Petitioner Jarnail Singh is brother-in-law (husband's brother) of said Shinder Kaur. I have heard Mr.Lakhwinder Singh Sidhu, Advocate, appearing for the petitioner, Mr.B.B.S. Sobti, Advocate, appearing for D.M.C and Mr. Vishal Munjal, Additional Advocate General, Punjab, appearing for respondents Nos. 2 and 3 and have gone through the records of the case. The facts, as mentioned in the writ petition, are that Shinder Kaur delivered a male child and was admitted in D.M.C, Ludhiana, on 8.11.2009 in the Emergency Word with post natal complications. She was operated upon. She was discharged from the hospital on 28.11.2009. However, as the medical expenses with regard to hospitalization, medicines etc. were not cleared by the family of Shinder Kaur, she was not allowed by the D.M.C authorities to leave the hospital. As per order of this Court dated 14.12.2009, Shinder Kaur was released from the D.M.C. As noticed above, Shinder Kaur was admitted in D.M.C on 8.11.2009 by her relatives on account of post natal problems after she had delivered a male child. She was operated upon and recovered from her illness. She remained admitted in hospital till 28.11.2009 i.e for twenty days. She is not now confined in D.M.C, Ludhiana and has been released -3- Criminal Writ Petition No.1632 of 2009. therefrom under the orders of this Court. This Court is not to go into the details with regard to the outstanding bills, if any, with regard to the treatment of Shinder Kaur in D.M. C, Ludhiana. For the aforesaid reasons, I do not find any merit in this writ petition. The same is hereby dismissed. May 17, 2010. ( MOHINDER PAL ) ak JUDGE
