Friends… here is a superb news for all of us; which we should encourage…

“Every injured citizen brought for medical treatment should instantaneously be given medical aid to preserve life and thereafter the procedural criminal law should be allowed to operate in order to avoid negligent death. There is no legal impediment for a medical professional when he is called upon or requested to attend to an injured person needing his medical assistance immediately. The effort to save the person should be the top priority not only of the medical professional but even of the police or any other citizen who happens to be connected with that matter or who happens to notice such an incident or a situation”.
“There are no provisions in the Indian Penal Code, Criminal Procedure Code, Motor Vehicles Act, which prevents doctors from promptly attending to serious injured persons and accident cases before arrival of the police and their taking into cognizance of such cases, preparation of FIR and other formalities by Police.”

The above was the statement stated by the Hon’ble Supreme court, in the case of Pt. Parmanand Katara vs Union of India in Criminal Writ Petition No.270 of 1988, D/-28.8.1989 (AIR 1989 Supreme Court 2039).

It has further stated; any person; caught with a road accidents and have taken to a hospital; then the hospital authority must not ask for police report to admit him, its doctors’ duty to do First-aid.

So now what would you do…. if there is someone you found injured on the rould side… shouldn’t you help him… it may save his life….
