-2CWP No.21759 of 2015 Examiner. Almost one year has already elapsed. I have considered the contentions raised by learned counsel for the petitioner.

The viscera was sent on 07.10.2014 but till date no report has been sent by the Chemical Examiner. A sufficient long time has elapsed. The report appears to have been delayed by respondent No.3. Respondent No.3 is directed to submit the report, if not already sent, to Senior Superintendent of Police, Bathinda, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order. Disposed of.
