CRL OP(MD). No.5367 of 2020 4.The learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner is not giving allopathy treatment and in fact, he stored the medicines for conducting free medical aid through trust and he has also enclosed trust deed.

5.Based on the complaint given by the public to the Collector that medicine waste from his clinic were thrown in the municipal dumpyard, the Chief Medical Officer has inspected the premises of the petitioner and seized allopathy medicines from his premises. This is not a fit case for granting anticipatory bail, since custodial interrogation is necessary to ascertain as to whether the petitioner is having qualification for giving allopathy treatment or he got permission to conduct free medical camp. Hence, this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner and this criminal original petition is dismissed.
