New Delhi: A Delhi court has stayed the registration of FIR against a Lok Nayak Hospital doctor here in a case related to alleged medical negligence in the treatment of a kidney of a patient in 2005.
Additional Sessions Judge Charu Aggarwal in an interim order stayed the decision of the magisterial court directing registration of FIR against the doctor for alleged medical negligence.
The magistrate had passed the order on the complaint of Ravindra Nath Dubey alleging that the doctor, who was the Head of Paediatrics at the Lok Nayak Hospital at that time, conducted a nephrectomy on his son and removed his kidney without consent. Challenging the order, the doctor, through criminal lawyer Namit Saxena, argued that he took written consent from the complainant, and was also exonerated in five inquiries.
