All audio-video clips were examined carefully. 33. Further, as per allegations of petitioner, concerned doctor namely Dr. Lokesh was contacted regarding overwriting/cutting on emergency registration certificate no. 47045 by him. Dr. Lokesh stated that "overwritten/cutting is clearly a clerical mistake and nothing else". 34. A ''to-scale, site map was prepared to examine the allegations regarding obstruction of the petitioner's car by the neighbours. The petitioner has claimed that the PCR vehicle and one motorcycle of the beat staff was parked to intentionally obstruct the passage of the petitioner's car. As per the site plan, the road is 8 meters (i.e. 26.24 feet) wide. In the video clip, the motorcycle does appear to be bap-hazardly parked but in reality there was sufficient space for the car to manoeuvre through. Moreover, there was sufficient space for the car to move out from the rear end of the road as well. The petitioner, her son and her husband left their second floor at 03:54 PM sat in their vehicle at 03:54:50 PM, reversed their car out of the parking at 03:56:11 PM, followed by a brief verbal altercation which lasted about 03 minutes 50 seconds, during which time, the petitioner's husband is seen voluntarily trying to step out of the car, and he stumbles and falls to the ground.

At the time of reaching the hospital, the petitioner was very much alive as evidenced by the ECG carried out at 04:10:18 PM. This ECG, however, was indicative of an ongoing myocardial infarction, which is also supported by the positive Trop-T test. Despite efforts by the doctors, the petitioner's husband succumbed to the cardiac arrest, at 05:01 PM, after being under treatment for 53 minutes. 35. As per enquiry conducted so far and as per the final Post-Mortem report, the unfortunate incident of death of Sh. Avtar Singh took place due to underlying pathology i.e. cardiomegaly, left ventricular hypertrophy, atherosclerotic patches and 80-90 % coronary artery blockage associated with findings suggestive of aneurysm of anterior communicating artery of the brain. As such no foul play was found. 36. In view of the aforesaid circumstances, the present petition as well as the Miscellaneous Application seeking transfer of investigation/inquiry to CBI do not gain any ground, and are hence opposed. 37. However, the undersigned shall abide by the orders passed by this Hon'ble Court.” This is a digitally signed order.

As per the Status Report, the Petitioner had lodged a complaint before the police, on 15th May, 2023, which was closed on 27th November, 2023 after a detailed enquiry. During the inquiry it has been found that there exists a long-standing and ongoing dispute between the Petitioner and her neighbours over common facilities such as parking, lift access, water supply, and use of the rooftop, resulting in multiple prior complaints and PCR calls made by both the Petitioner and her neighbours.
