document filed as Annexure P-4 is dated 21.01.2019, wherein against the
petitioner's name certain medicines are prescribed but it does not certify
about any illness. The document filed at page 121 has diagnosed petitioner

given about 2 1/2 years back. Rest of the documents relates to referring the
petitioner to AIIMS, New Delhi by GC, Gwalior which have been
considered and discussed by enquiry officer.
