CRM-M-21098-2021 protection was withdrawn by the Court on the ground that the petitioner had acted as a peddler and had asked decoy patient to come near Gurudwara where instead of going herself, she sent someone else i.e. a lady namely Paramjit Kaur in her place.

In view of aforesaid factual position, the interim order dated 27.05.2021 is made absolute. However, the petitioner shall keep on joining the investigation as and when required to do so and she shall abide by the conditions as envisaged under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C.
