Now know what arguments were given by both sides in court CMO counsel counted 2 arguments- politics regarding post To avoid arrest, CMO Dr. Manjeet filed anticipatory bail petition in the court. Which was heard on Wednesday. The lawyer advocating the CMO argued-Dr. Manjeet has been falsely implicated in this case. This case was registered in the hospital due to politics for the post of Chief Medical Officer. Many news was published in newspapers in this regard. Due to this politics, the police was unnecessarily harassing the applicant.
Office was called for official objective The second argument, Dr. Manjeet, had called the complainant only for the official objective, as a video conference was going on. Do not recover anything from the complainant. Dr. Manjeet also does not commit a crime under the SC/ST Act, as the complaint did not report that derogatory words were publicly called by the name of the complainant. There was no need for interrogation in custody. Therefore, the applicant deserves anticipatory bail.
Lady doctor’s lawyer is required to logic in argument In the case, the victim of the victim Lady Doctor argued to the court that the accused called the female employee vulgar at the workplace. A case was registered after a proper investigation by the police. The rest of the investigation in the case is still pending and Dr. Manjeet is directly involved in this case. To get to the bottom of the case, it is necessary to interrogate the accused in custody, so he is not entitled to anticipatory bail.

The court said-Occupable objectionable language, if the bell is found, the investigation will be affected After listening to both sides, the court said that the investigation is still in the initial stage. In such a situation, if the accused gets anticipatory bail, then according to the investigating officer, there is a possibility that he will obstruct the investigation of the case. Not only this, the victim and other important witnesses will pressurize and will tamper with the evidence. The court said that if the matter is also related to the SAC-ST Act, then its seriousness increases. In such a situation, the CMO cannot get anticipatory bail.
What can the accused CMO do next …
1. To file an appeal in Punjab-Haryana High Court: A new petition or appeal of anticipatory bail can be filed in the High Court under Section 439 of the CRPC against the Sessions Court’s decision. According to sources, Dr. Manjeet is already preparing to move to the High Court through lawyers.
2. Special Permission Petition in Supreme Court (SLP): If the High Court also rejects bail, CRPC can file SLP in the Supreme Court under Section 439. The Supreme Court recently (September 2025) has been strict on high court decisions in anticipatory bail cases, but considers personal circumstances.
3. Surrender themselves and demand for regular vine: CRPC can file a petition of regular bell (after arrest) under Section 437/439 by surrendering to the police. This reduces the risk of release of NBW (non-ballistic warrant).
4. Challenge of cooperation and evidence in investigation: The police can voluntarily record the statement in the investigation, or demand a forensic inquiry into audio recording through the court. If it is proved that the recording is fake or edited, the case may be weak.
