The medical record filed today consists of pathological investigation reports and the report that mother of the accused/applicant was discharged on 25.07.2026 in stable condition. Further, according to the said record, the knee replacement surgery of mother of the accused/applicant has now been scheduled for 04.08.2026 for which she has to get admitted on 03.08.2026. 3. The medical records filed by the Investigating Officer today do not include radiological reports. Learned counsel for accused/applicant has produced radiological reports of mother of the accused/applicant across the board, according to which mother of the accused/applicant is suffering with Osteoarthritis and has to undergo knee replacement. Learned counsel for accused/applicant has also shown me her x-ray film dated 25.07.2026. 4. Going by the aforesaid, it is clear that the mother of the accused/applicant is suffering with ailment for which she has to be operated upon. The only reluctance on the part of the prosecution is that if the accused/applicant is released on interim bail, he will again not take his mother for surgery and will seek evergreening the interim liberty. On this aspect, learned senior counsel for accused/applicant, on instructions, assures that if on 04.08.2026 surgery of mother of the accused/applicant gets deferred, he shall immediately surrender on that day itself.
