It is argued by learned counsel for the petitioner that his brother is suffering from pancreatic cancer which is at its last stage. The presence of the petitioner with his brother is required for providing emotional as well as physical support and to make arrangement for his medical care. The parents of the petitioner are old aged and are suffering from age related ailments and hence are unable to take care of his brother. It is, thus, urged that the petitioner may be released on interim bail in order to enable him to take care of his ailing brother as well as other family members. 4. Respondent-State has filed the status report. Along with the same, copy of the statement of Smt. Kamla, mother of the petitioner, has been annexed, which shows that the brother of the petitioner is being taken care by his parents and the petitioner, who had been living separately from them from quite some time, had nothing to do with his family. It is also shown to be recorded that the treatment of brother of the petitioner is going on. Copy of the statement of the Municipal Councillor concerned has also been annexed, as per which, the petitioner has been disinherited by his family since long and the care of his brother is being taken by the parents and sister of the petitioner. In view of this report, this Court finds no reason to allow the petition and grant concession of interim bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the petition is dismissed. 19.09.2025 (MANISHA BATRA) Waseem Ansari Waseem Ansari Waseem Ansari Waseem Ansari JUDGE Whether speaking/reasoned Yes/No Whether reportable Yes/No MOHAMMAD WASEEM ANSARI 2025.09.21 16:17 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document
