Interim bail on medical grounds declined where wife's treatment could begin with oral medication before surgery

Interim bail under Section 439 CrPC was sought on the ground that the petitioner needed time to arrange surgery for his wife. The medical material indicated that oral medication could be prescribed first, and surgery would be required only if that treatment failed. On that basis, the Court found no sufficient ground to enlarge the petitioner on interim bail and declined the request.
