Learned counsel for the State on instructions from ASI Sukhpal Singh has submitted that the petitioner had taken the original MLR and the copy of the Discharge Certificate and the same have not been handed over till date. Learned State counsel further assures the Court that as and when the medical record is handed over, necessary/appropriate action would be taken in accordance with law.

Today, on first call, a request for a pass-over was made on behalf of the learned counsel for the petitioner. On the second call no one has put in appearance on behalf of the petitioner. Even on the previous date of hearing i.e. on 30.10.2023, none had put in appearance on behalf of the petitioner. It appears that the petitioner is not interested in pursuing the present petition. This Court is left with no other option but to dismiss the present petition for non-prosecution.
