Patient Data Leak Case: Bombay High Court Refuses to Quash FIR Against Doctor
The Nagpur bench of the Bombay High Court recently denied quashing an FIR against a doctor, accused of using leaked patient data to grow his own practice.
It was observed by the HC bench comprising Justice Urmila Joshi Phalke that the investigation papers disclosed the intention of the accused doctor. "On plain reading of the complaint and other investigation papers the intention of the present applicant since inception is apparent. It is also apparent that by his action or omission he has caused loss to non-applicant No.2 and gained monetarily for his personal use. Therefore, the offence of cheating admittedly is made out against the present applicant," the bench noted.
