A certificate<br \/>\ndated 28.04.2011 was produced under the signature of Dr.S.Napoleon<br \/>\nSingh, wherein it is mentioned that:-\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8230;..  Again he<br \/>\nwas referred to Civil Hospital Ahmedabad, psychiatric Dept. for<br \/>\nfollow up on 27\/04\/2011 and he was examined by Dr.M.N.Parikh (P<br \/>\nPsychiatric, H.O.U., Unit-I)<\/p>\n<p>On examination:\n<\/p>\n<p>Patient<br \/>\n\tpays fluctuating attention to the examiner.\n<\/p>\n<p>Is<br \/>\n\tmute.\n<\/p>\n<p>Occasionally<br \/>\n\tfollows verbal commands.\n<\/p>\n<p>Patient<br \/>\n\tdoes not answer relevantly, even with gestures.\n<\/p>\n<p>He was advised<br \/>\nantipsychiatric medicines for 15 days and advised follow up after 15<br \/>\ndays.\n<\/p>\n<p>This certificate is<br \/>\nissued on the basis of available case papers at central jail<br \/>\ndispensary.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>2.\t\tOn<br \/>\n29.04.2011, the Court asked Dr.S.Napoleon Singh to explain to the<br \/>\nCourt the meaning of the remarks made in the certificate, viz.<br \/>\n&#8220;patient was found conscious and not fully oriented&#8221;.<br \/>\nThe matter was then adjourned to 04.05.2011 so as to find out whether<br \/>\nthe release of the convict will cause any burden to the family.\n<\/p>\n<p>2.1\t\tOn<br \/>\n04.05.2011, the matter was adjourned to 11.05.2011.  Along with<br \/>\ncommunication dated 01.\/03.05.2011, a statement of the convict was<br \/>\nproduced.  The Court, prima facie, found the conclusions mentioned by<br \/>\nthe Doctor on the basis of the record, liable to be verified and<br \/>\ntherefore, on 11.05.2011, the jail authorities were directed to<br \/>\nproduce the convict before the Court.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.\t\tToday,<br \/>\nthe convict is present before the Court.  The Court put various<br \/>\nquestion to him and he replied the same in detail.  To the utmost<br \/>\nsurprise of the Court, none of the observations made by Dr.M.N.Parikh<br \/>\nis noticed in the behaviour of the convict.  This Court, in<br \/>\ninteraction with the convict and taking into consideration his<br \/>\nresponse to the queries made by the Court, deemed it proper to<br \/>\ndiscuss the matter with Doctor as well as Jail Officer.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.1\t\tDr.S.Napoleon<br \/>\nSingh along with Senior Jailor Shri Vankar remained present before<br \/>\nthe Court.  The matter was taken up in chamber.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.2\t\tDr.S.Napoleon<br \/>\nSingh talked to the patient-convict on various points and then stated<br \/>\nthat, &#8216;he is of the opinion that the observations made by<br \/>\nDr.M.N.Parikh are not found to be present in the convict&#8217;.  But them<br \/>\nhe stated that,  &#8216;this may be because of medication&#8217;.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.3\t\tSenior<br \/>\nJailor Mr.Vankar also talked to the convict.  He stated that it is<br \/>\ntrue that the convict does not talk to other inmates in jail, but the<br \/>\nconvict does talk to him, may be because the other inmates brand him<br \/>\nas a &#8216;mental case&#8217;, by which he may getting disturbed.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.4\t\tThe<br \/>\nconvict stated that when he was at Jamnagar jail, he was not having<br \/>\nany problem which are faced by him in Ahmedabad Jail.  Besides<br \/>\neverything, he is able to convey to this Court that while he was in<br \/>\nJamnagar jail, it was convenient for his father and minor son, who is<br \/>\naged 11 years to visit him.  He stated that when he was arrested on<br \/>\n02.07.2003, at that time, his son was hardly 3 years old.  He stated<br \/>\nthat it is very inconvenient for his father and son to visit him in<br \/>\nAhmedabad jail.  He also conveyed to this Court that this not only<br \/>\ntroubles them but to him as well.  He is also able to remember and<br \/>\nconvey to this Court that, once when his father and minor child were<br \/>\ncoming to visit him in jail, while crossing the railway lines, his<br \/>\nfather had fallen on the railway track and his life was saved by one<br \/>\nArmy Personnel and when they narrated this incident to the convict,<br \/>\nhe had sleepless night.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.\t\tAll<br \/>\nthis narration is suggestive of the fact that the observations made<br \/>\nby Dr.M.N.Parikh, Psychiatric are not present in the conduct of the<br \/>\nconvict.  While this Court is not to record any finding about the<br \/>\nstate of health of the convict, the Court will definitely like to<br \/>\nrefer the case to the Civil Surgeon for being examined by a team of<br \/>\nexperts.  But, that exercise should be undertaken not at Ahmedabad,<br \/>\nbut at some other station.\n<\/p>\n<p>5.\t\tTaking<br \/>\ninto consideration the fact that the convict was comfortable in<br \/>\nJamnagar jail, his presence at Jamnagar will be causing less trouble<br \/>\nto the family, in turn it will give some psychological respite to the<br \/>\nconvict, it is ordered that the convict be transferred from Ahmedabad<br \/>\nCentral Jail to Jamnagar Jail, on his return from temporary bail<br \/>\nwhich is granted by this very order.\n<\/p>\n<p>6.\t\tTaking<br \/>\ninto consideration the facts of the case and taking into<br \/>\nconsideration the fact that in the year 2006, he was granted furlough<br \/>\nand he had reported in time, but when he was granted furlough in the<br \/>\nyear 2008, he absconded for 787 days, for which he has given an<br \/>\nexplanation that, &#8216;as his wife had expired, his parents being aged,<br \/>\nthere was nobody to take care of his child and therefore, he was<br \/>\nresiding at his own place&#8217;, the Court is of the opinion that he can<br \/>\nbe granted temporary bail.\n<\/p>\n<p>7.\t\tAccordingly<br \/>\nthe application is allowed.  The applicant-convict is ordered to<br \/>\nbe released on temporary bail for a period of 45 days from the<br \/>\ndate of his release, on his executing a personal bond of Rs.5,000\/-<br \/>\n(Rupees Five Thousand Only) to the satisfaction of the Jail<br \/>\nauthorities.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\tIn<br \/>\nview of the fact of his absconding, the convict shall mark his<br \/>\npresence at the &#8216;Bhatiya&#8217; Police Chowki on every Monday between 08.00<br \/>\nam to 12.00 pm.<\/p>\n<p>8.\t\tThe<br \/>\napplicant shall surrender to the Jail authorities on expiry of the<br \/>\ntemporary bail period.\n<\/p>\n<p>9.\t\tRule is made<br \/>\nabsolute.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\tTaking<br \/>\ninto consideration the aforesaid facts, Registry is directed to<br \/>\nnotify the Criminal Appeal for final hearing in the week commencing<br \/>\nfrom 20.06.2011.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t(Ravi<br \/>\nR.Tripathi, J.)<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t(P.P.Bhatt,<br \/>\nJ.)<\/p>\n<p>*Shitole<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   Top<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gujarat High Court Kalu vs State on 12 May, 2011 Author: Ravi R.Tripathi,&amp;Nbsp;Mr.Justice P.P.Bhatt,&amp;Nbsp;
