There is no one except two children, in the family of the accused, to look after their mother. Whatever medical papers forwarded by Dr. Umesh Shetty have no history like issuing fake medical certificates to the accused and their families for getting bail from the Court. When there is no history as such and Dr. Umesh Shetty is well known Orthopedic Surgeon in Mumbai, his opinion cannot be discarded by completely disbelieving him. Therefore, the impact on the children and genuine need of their father to cope up with the same is an ardent need which is reflecting from the application and medical papers. Application is allowed as a first and last chance that, no further application on such ground or other, will be entertained or even for continuation of temporary liberty will be entertained after the lapse of period directed in this order. - ORDER BELOW EXH.100 IN PMLA SPECIAL CASE NO.404 OF 2021 - - - Dated:- 2-12-2021 - M.

It was not the prayer of the appellant that he should be released to attend the funeral of his deceased mother.

From this stand point, the claim of the appellant that the rites, rituals and condolence meeting, which have been kept in abeyance, are to be performed and held on the first death anniversary of his mother, cannot be said to be impracticable or untenable. 6.
