Kerala HC denies anticipatory bail to man who slapped doctor for touching wife for purpose of medical examination
Observing that attack against doctors, while examining the patients, merely because they touched on the body of the patients could not be encouraged at all, the Kerala High Court has denied anticipatory bail to a man who slapped a doctor, alleging that the latter had misbehaved towards his wife and touched her body.
The Single Judge Bench of Justice A. Badharudeen averred that doctors cannot clinically examine patients without touching them. He was of the view that granting anticipatory bail in such a case would lead to a 'dangerous situation', whereby doctors, who are duty bound to treat patients as part of their oath, would not get protection and the the proper maintenance of health of the public at large would also be in peril.
