The court ordered Singh's additional tests after going through a preliminary report which the institute had submitted to it as per its November 30 order in response to a plea by Singh's counsel, saying he was suffering from mental illness.u00a0

The court has adjourned the hearing on Singh's bail plea for the time being and he will be produced in court on December 9, when his judicial custody expires. Seeking bail for Singh, his counsel said his client has been undergoing psychiatric treatment for four years and as per a Supreme Court order, a mentally sick person cannot be held guilty even for killing someone.
