HC grants relief to doctors, says Courts must avoid general presumption in medico-legal cases
Observing that judicial restraint is paramount at the stage of cognizance in medico-legal cases, the Jodhpur bench of Rajasthan High Court recently opined that in cases concerning doctors/hospital administration involving allegations of forging pathological reports, meticulous judicial scrutiny was required before taking cognizance, especially when the doctor had not refuted the authenticity of the signatures.
With this, the Court exonerated a group of doctors who were charged with forging pathological reports. Four doctors filed pleas before the HC bench after the Trial Court as well as the revision court took cognizance of the offences for cheating and forgery against them based on a complaint filed by the complainant.
