1. The written statement is not prepared. The defendant has yet to engage his counsel. However, the contents of the claim were perused and defendant as well as AD (legal) present in the court were heard.
2. The allegation against the defendant was that he being a fake doctor was involved in illegal medical practice.
3. The written statement filed by the defendant before the DCO/Authority is available on record. It was perused.
4. The defendant claimed that in fact, the clinic was being run by Dr. Javid MBBS. According to him, he has no link whatsoever with the clinic except the job of its cleaning/sweeping. The defendant is Christian by faith. The simple allegation against him that he being fake doctor was involved in illegal medical practice whereas, no prove whatsoever was annexed with the claim showing as if the defendant was factually doing medical practice. As per certificate issued by the Punjab Medical Faculty, Saleem Gil, the brother of the defendant was a qualified dispenser. The possibility that in fact the clinic was owned by Dr. Javid Iqbal and Saleem Gil was working there as his dispenser, appears more plausible. The defendant being younger brother of Saleem Gil was sitting in the clinic after performing his duty as sweeper and all of sudden, the raiding doctor reached there and without making probe, implicated him as fake doctor. It was mandatory for the raiding doctor to collect evidence from the surroundings in order to show that defendant was factually doing medical practice. Such type of evidence was not available with the DCO /Authority.
5. Therefore, further proceedings in the matter would be wastage of time hence the claim is dismissed. However no order as to cost is passed.
6. File be consigned after its due completion.
