Judge Loya death case: Lawyer says hospital reports replete with conflicting “facts”

The Supreme Court bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justices A M Khanwilkar, D Y Chandrachud on Friday (February 9) continued hearing of the plea seeking independent probe into the mysterious death of Justice B G Loya who was handling the Sohrabuddin Seikh fake encounter case.

Senior advocate Indira Jaising started her depositions on Friday. She said she would be dealing with two different sets of submissions, one dealing with facts and the other dealing with the law.

She referred to Section 174 of the CrPC and emphasized on the “accident” as mentioned in the bare provision. Accidental death report raises a doubt, she submitted. She said that the provision of the sub section 3 of the relevant section has been clearly violated. She said relatives include brother, sister, children and spouse under the explanation of the section.

On page 90 of the report that provision has been violated, she said.

She said that accidental death has been reported in the very first police document. There has been an error in the name here. While the judge’s actual name was Brij Gopal Loya, in ten documents it has been mentioned as Brij Mohan Loya. This raises doubts, she said.

According to provision of law, immediate intimation was supposed to have been given to the nearest executive magistrate (for accidental death). She said that this page immediately triggers section 174. Also, that the name of the deceased has been wrongly mentioned is a suspicious thing.

She refers to Inquest Panchnama which has not been reproduced.

She submitted that in page 23 (death investigation report) the inquest panchnama has not been produced. This pertains to his personal belongings. She said that there is a discrepancy even where the clothes are described. One document says brown pants and another says grey pants.

A copy of the post mortem report has been given along with the missing page.

She referred to time of postmortem which was done between 10:30 and 10:55am. She also submitted that on page 25 of the postmortem report this correction of the name has been referred to.

The name of the police station varies too.

Also, the case diary, which is most critical, has not been produced. Cause of death was coronary artery insufficiency. That was the postmortem report. Yet, this was mentioned as an accidental death.

She said that the final report and inquest report does not comply with section 174 CrPC. SS Gajang was the inquiry officer.

She then came to the ECG. When was it done? Why has the report not been produced, she asked. “And why was it on 2/2/2016 and not earlier?” she asked.

She said that there were several reasons to suspect the inquiry. She asked why the ECG report was not produced even though it was a case of a heart attack. Was it done at the Dande or at the Medetrina hospital? That too is not clear.

The statement that an ECG was done is actually as per hearsay.

  1. ECG not produced
  2. Statement made contradicts the statement made by a judge RR Rathi. That, so far, is the most credible statement of the case.

And Rathi, who is an eye witness, has stated that ECG was not done as the machine was broken.

Jaising submitted that when Justice Loya complained of chest pains, he was taken to Dande hospital. The lift was not working so he climbed the stairs. An assistant doctor attended him, who tried to do the ECG but was unsuccessful because the machine was broken.

The assistant doctor gave two injections of antacids and wasted time. RR Rathi, being an eye witness says no ECG was done.

However, Dr Dande, being a hearsay witness says ECG was done.

After continuous complain, Justice Loya was taken to Medetirina Hospital where he was declared dead due to heart attack.

This contradictory statement raises questions.

She submitted that the cause of death under Section 174, which was to be submitted, is not known. The clinical history is not known and therefore it is uncertain to tell that what was the cause of death.

Statement of judge Rathi is of most important  as he considers the death of Loya as unfortunate.

The judge’s sister, who is a doctor has gone on record saying he had no history of cardiac problems. She has said that has had a clean clinical history. Also, no doctor at either hospital had recorded any history of the patient.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today commented for the first time to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s announcement of his candidacy for the Raebareli seat. Rahul is making his way towards Raebareli because he is afraid of Amethi seat, according to the PM.

The Prime Minister sneered as he said at a rally in Bengal that today he also want to tell him, Daro Mat (don’t be afraid), Bhaago Mat (don’t run).

Rahul Gandhi has often said, Daro Mat while accusing the BJP government of using investigaticve agencies to terrorise critics and political opponents.

According to Prime Minister Modi, there is no need for an exit poll or opinion survey because Congress would lose by a greater margin than the previous time.

Their tallest leader did not have the guts to fight the polls in Raebareli, Prime Minister Modi added, making reference to Sonia Gandhi. She went away and joined the Rajya Sabha in Rajasthan.

The PM reffered Rahul Gandhi as Shehzaada and said he would lose Wayanad, as he has predicted. He was searching for a second seat because of this. Also, their supporters said that he would battle from Amethi. However, PM Modi said, he is so afraid that he ran to Raebareli to find a way out.

Additionally, he claimed that the I.N.D.I.A bloc is only committed to the voting base of a specific locality.

Speaking out against the TMC and the Left-Congress allience in Bengal, Prime Minister Modi claimed he was not afraid since he had overcome poverty. Getting scared is not in his dictionary. He is determined to work for the country, he said.

Meanwhile, the Amethi-Raebareli decision was attacked by a number of BJP leaders, who claimed it was obvious that Rahul Gandhi knew he couldn’t win Amethi, where Smriti Irani is contesting again following her stunning success in the previous Lok Sabha election.

The Congress party unveiled its list of candidates on Friday, and the party has picked Rahul Gandhi from Raebareli and Kishori Lal Sharma from Amethi has been nominated. After a great deal of speculation regarding the two Uttar Pradesh seats, the announcement was made.

Raebareli and Amethi have both been strongholds for the Congress. Rahul Gandhi lost against BJP leader and Union Minister Smriti Irani in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections from Amethi.

Taking to social media X, Congress announced their decision to field Rahul Gandhi from Raebareli and KL Sharma from Amethi, which was made at a meeting of the Central Election Committee.

Today is the final day to submit nominations for the  fifth phase of the election, which is scheduled to held on May 20th. Both the candidates will file nominations today. 

Priyanka Gandhi praised KL Sharma shortly after the nominees for the two prestigious seats were revealed, stating that his loyalty and dedication will help him win the election.

She wrote X, her family has known Kishori Lal Sharma ji for a very long time. His dedication to serving the public good serves as an example. The Congress Party’s decision to nominate Shri Kishori Lal Ji as an Amethi candidate is a matter of joy. She also said Kishori Lal Sharma will undoubtedly win this election because of his devotion to duty and loyalty.

However, given Union minister Smriti Irani’s success in Amethi in 2019, there is worry that Rahul Gandhi’s change of seat could work in the BJP’s favour. With her impending victory, the senior BJP leader has said that the Congress’s delay was due to cold feet and is prepared to defend the seat.

KL Sharma will contest against Smriti Irani in Amethi in the Lok Sabha elections. While, Rahul Gandhi’s opponent would be Dinesh Pratap Singh, who was named by BJP for Raebareli on Thursday. Singh lost the 2019 Lok Sabha elections to former Congress president Sonia Gandhi.

Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi  is scheduled to hold a roadshow in Raebareli after filing of nominations. Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge will also visit Raebareli today.
