The learned counsel appearing on behalf of the applicant argues that the applicant/accused is in judicial custody since 13.10.2024 and he has been falsely implicated in the present case. It is further argued that in the present case deceased died due to medical negligence after 12 days of the said incident, not due to the injuries caused to the deceased. It is further submitted that applicant has clean antecedents. It is further submitted that since the charge-sheet in the present case has already been filed by the IO, no purpose would be served by keeping the applicant behind the bar. It is further argued that both, the complainant and the eye-witness have turned hostile.
