CORAM:
HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE V.K. SHALI


V.K. SHALI, J. (ORAL)

1. This is an application for review of the order dated 20.04.2015.

2. I have heard Mr. K.T.S. Tuli, the learned senior counsel for the applicant/petitioner. I have also heard the learned counsel for the respondent and have gone through the record.

3. The learned senior counsel Mr. Tulsi has contended that in the order dated 20.04.2015 passed by this Court while disposing of the Review Petition 271/2015 in CM(M) 416/2012 Page 1 of 4 CM (M) 416/2012 it has been observed by this Court in para 19 as under:-

"19. ...... So far as the reports of experts are concerned, they are at best the guiding principles and there is no dearth of methods of procuring these reports.........."

4. The contention of the learned senior counsel for the petitioner is that the observations made by this Court with regard to report purported to have been given by Dr. Deepak Gupta gives an impression as if the report which has been given by Dr. Deepak Gupta, the Psychiatrist with regard to the examination of the party in the instant case is a procured report and, therefore, it has a tendency of prejudicing the disposal of the guardianship petition by the learned trial Court.

5. The learned counsel for the respondent has disputed the contention of the learned senior counsel.

6. I have carefully considered the submissions made by the learned senior counsel as well as the learned counsel for the respondent. I have also gone through the observations passed by this Court. Review Petition 271/2015 in CM(M) 416/2012 Page 2 of 4

7. There is no dispute about the fact that this Court had observed that there is no dearth of methods of procuring these reports of experts. In the instant case the report was given by the medical expert Dr. Deepak Gupta, but this was never the intention of this Court to pass an observation that the report which has been furnished by Dr. Deepak Gupta is a procured one because the Court was conscious of the fact that Dr. Deepak Gupta was appointed by the Division Bench of this Court out of the names which were given by Dr. Sarin, who was an expert in the matter. I, therefore, feel that this was neither the intention nor the purpose of passing the observations to prejudice the interest of any party. However, in order to allay the affairs of either of the parties this Court had specifically observed towards the end of the order in para 23 that the learned trial Court shall proceed to dispose of the main matter under Section 25 of the Guardians and Wards Act, 1890 as expeditiously as possible without being influenced in any manner by any of the observations made in the present matter.

8. These overriding observations passed by the Court reinforced the fact that the Court need not be influenced in any manner Review Petition 271/2015 in CM(M) 416/2012 Page 3 of 4 whatsoever with those lines or words which this Court has passed in Para 19 of the order dated 20.04.2015.

9. Suffice it would be here to reiterate the same as what has been stated in para 23 of the order dated 20.04.2015, no further orders are needed to be passed on the review petition.

10. Accordingly, the review petition is treated to have been disposed of.

11. A copy of the order be sent to the trial Court for information.
