Madras HC issues directions on postmortem procedure, death certificate
Chennai: The Madurai bench of the Madras High Court, while issuing a series of directions regarding the procedure of postmortem and issuing of the death certificate ruled that the doctors, in strict compliance with Article 621 of the Tamil Nadu Medical Code, should hand over the postmortem certificate to the judicial magistrate concerned as soon as it is done.
This came after advocate RM Arun Swaminathan filed a Public Interest Litigation in the court complaining that there is a gap in the procedures followed by the authorities concerned in conducting post mortem at government hospitals.
