The directions by Justice Thakur came on a petition filed against Assistant Director, Directorate of Enforcement, by Khaira through senior advocate Vikram Chaudhri with Zaheen Kaur. Justice Thakur observed the medical report on ailment besetting the petitioner-bail applicant placed before the court was authored by Patiala Central Jail Superintendent Shivraj Singh.

But it was deemed fit and appropriate in the larger interest of justice that his medical condition be re-examined by a medical board. It would, after the examination, form an opinion whether his health condition had deteriorated due to critical ailments besetting him inside the jail. — TNS
