Cong MLA gets judicial remand till Dec 2 Kaithal, November 18 Mr Barwala was brought from Hisar Central Jail by the Kaithal police in connection with a criminal case registered against him at the Pundri police station. He was produced before Judicial Magistrate Shashi Bala Chauhan, who remanded him in judicial custody. Mr Barwala, along with his driver Bhim Singh and Pundri gunhouse owner Jai Bhagwan, had been charged with trying to fraudulently renew his revolver licence after it expired three months ago. The police had also registered a case against Mr Bhim Singh and Mr Jai Bhagwan. Earlier, the Kaithal police failed to bring Mr Barwala here as a large number of his supporters had gathered there and opposed the police from taking him. On November 15, a sessions court here had rejected the anticipatory bail of Mr Barwala in this case. Meanwhile, a Hisar court yesterday extended the judicial remand of Mr Barwala till December 1 in a case of criminal intimidation and assault on an INLD leader. On November 11, bail was granted to Mr Barwala in this case, but he had not furnished a bail bond. —

Judge reserves order on doctor couple’s bail Ambala, November 18 The local police registered a case against them on October 24, when a woman, Amarjit Kaur, died at their centre while the doctor couple was aborting her four-months malformed foetus. The counsel for the state, while opposing the cancellation of bail, said the ultrasound centre was not authorised for conducting ultrasound and MTP. The foetus was not found in the womb of the deceased during the postmortem examination, which might have been thrown somewhere by the doctors. The counsel for the state said the couple was aware that the abortion could lead to the death of the patient. The lower court had granted bail by going beyond its jurisdiction. On the other hand, the counsel for the couple, while supporting the bail, said it was a case of natural death and the couple could not be held responsible for it. He said initially the case was registered against the doctors under Section 304-A of the IPC, but later, subsections 3, 4, and 6 of the PNDT Act were added in the FIR to make the case non-bailable. He said the complainant had reported that the death took place due to the negligence of the doctors, which came under Section 304-A of the IPC and was a bailable offence. The counsel argued that the bail granted by a Magistrate could be cancelled only on the ground that the accused was misusing it was likely to leave the country or was interfering in the administration of justice. He said the lower court had not gone beyond its jurisdiction and the bail should not be cancelled.
