as submitted by learned Senior Counsel on his behalf, he receives salary and
some percentage of consultation charges recovered from the patients. Dr.
K.S. Sachdev, on the other hand, has been the Managing Director of the
Company which owns and runs said hospital. We have found that the
continued admission for such a long period as indoor patient was not
justifiable for any reason or medical condition of the respondent. Both these
medical professionals are responsible for such prolonged admission which
was actuated by only one reason which was to extend medical asylum to the
respondent as a cover to defeat the orders passed by this Court and the Trial
Court. In this process, these medical professionals not only helped the
respondent in violating the Order of this court but they also obstructed
administration of justice.
