The instant petition is for the following reliefs:- "(i) Direct the respondent no. 1, in the nature of Writ of Mandamus, to suspend the duties of the Concerned Doctors, Dr. Komal Chauhan, DNB III, Dr. Pankhuri (Senior Resident) and the nursing staff involved in the treatment of the patient.

fit and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case." 2.

The facts of the case would indicate that on 17.08.2025, the patient was admitted at Dr. Baba Sahab Hospital and Medical College, Rohini. Certain medical advices were given to the patient and eventually, on the very same day, the patient had expired. The petitioner seems to have filed the complaint on 20.08.2024 to the concerned Police Station and sought for the strict adherence of the guidelines which are already in place, and an action of suspension against the concerned doctor. 3.

The Court, however, finds that the adjudication of the grievance raised in the instant petition will require the appreciation of oral and documentary evidence, which cannot be undertaken by this Court under this jurisdiction. The petitioner, however, shall be at liberty to take appropriate recourse in accordance with law.

4.

So far as the submission made on behalf of the petitioner that the petitioner has not received the copy of the post-mortem report is concerned, the said issue can be agitated before an appropriate authority. 5.

If the copy of the post-mortem report is not furnished to the petitioner within a reasonable period of time, the petitioner is also granted liberty to file a fresh petition.

6.

With the aforesaid observations and liberty, the instant petition stands disposed of.
