Judgment:
IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI A.B.A. No. 866 of 2013 Ashok Singh .... Petitioner(s) Versus State of Jharkhand ... Opposite Party Coram : HONBLE MR. JUSTICE D.N.UPADHYAY For the petitioner (s): Mr. Ram Prakash Singh For the opposite party : Addl.P.P. 17.06.2013 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the State. This is an application for anticipatory bail flied by the petitioner in connection with Manika PS case No. 58 of 2012 pending in the court of SDJM, Latehar. It reveals from FIR that the husband of the informant was insisted by the petitioner to get operated because he was suffering with Appendix. At the insistence of the present petitioner, the deceased went for operation and the petitioner was also present and assisting at the time of operation. Due to negligence committed by the doctor, large intestine of the deceased got punctured; as a result, infection developed and he died. It is submitted that the petitioner has nothing to do with the operation done by the doctor. He had simply suggested the deceased to get operated and he is not responsible for the negligence committed by the doctor. Learned counsel for the State has opposed the prayer. It reveals from the statement of the deceased recorded in para 5 of the case diary that petitioner had not only suggested, but he was also assisting in course of operation. Considering above aspects of the matter, I do not feel inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, prayer is rejected and this application is dismissed.
