Ambala, June 21
A district court today dismissed the interim bail application of the Income Tax Commissioner, Karnal, Mr Madan Lal Khichar.

In its order, the Additional Sessions Judge (Duty), Mr S.K. Kaushik, stated that the accused-petitioner has filed an application stating that he be allowed interim bail for three weeks on the ground that his wife was a chronic patient of a number of ailments. She has been under the treatment of various doctors in Faridabad, New Delhi and Karnal for the past more than five years. The wife of the petitioner was again admitted to General Hospital, Karnal, on June 11, 2002.

“As per the report of Dr Deepak Prakash, General Surgeon, General Hospital, Karnal, he had not conducted the final diagnosis of the disease of Mrs Nathi Chaudhary, wife of Mr Madan Lal, and due to lack of facilities in the General Hospital, Karnal, had referred her to the PGI, Rohtak, for further investigation,” the order states.

“It is clear from the report of Dr Deepak Prakash that the wife of accused-petitioner is not serious. Moreover, her treatment can be looked after by relatives or family members of the accused-petitioners. Hence no ground for grant of interim bail at this stage is made out. Hence, the bail application is dismissed,” the order adds.
