questions arises that I.O. is not collecting evidence in accordance with the

laboratory reports have been furnished with the documents”, Inference : The
Enquiry Committee went through all the documents thoroughly. The findings which
were observed from the BHTs, DC, treatment protocols ( consent from time to
time information to patient party and overall treatment, stay at both hospitals
) are of standard and are being maintained keeping to the protocols and
guidelines. However it is preferable to take specific consent from for specific
decease and circumstances. The members of the committee did not find out any
gross deviations from the legal and treatment aspects. However the Enquiry
Committee is not in a position to comment on the statements which were seen in
the Court papers regarding some unpleasant circumstances as stated by the
patient party ( Pg. 107, 108, 109 ). This can be ruled out by investigation by
the investigating authority.”
“N”

the Expert Opinion, dated 04-05-2011, is
enclosing herewith and marked as Annexure – “N” ).
29.
That the defacto complainant /

the papers and or documents related to treatment has never been handed over to
them by the I.O. of this case, as its appears from their statements and report
of the opinion. Now under such a circumstances, which has been on the papers
and or documents relied upon by the I.O. of this case, without giving all the
papers and or documents and or without collecting such evidence and or
evidentiary valued papers and or documents, which the expert and or DR. U.P.
Ghoshal required to ascertain the cause of death as well as about the act and
omissions of the doctors in regards to cause the operations of the deceased
child, can be ascertained as a reliable opinion, in the interest of fair
investigation and or in the interest of administration of justice, the answer
become in view of the prudent person is certainly “NO”. therefore the opinion
of the expert and or opinion of Dr. U.P. Ghoshal are not in the conscious of
medical professions and also not in conscious of medico legal jurisprudence,
and cannot be take as granted in any manner whatsoever, more particularly
cannot be taken as granted in accordance with the Law.

Manchanda case, it ruled that a doctor had to secure the consent of a patient
before commencing a treatment, including surgery. Whereas your petitioner ward
is minor and not even upto the age of 12 years, as per Section 90 of the Indian
Penal Code to obtain consent from the ward of your petitioner, as such your
petitioner can only give consent, which he did not given for the said purported
operation of his ward, and the doctors of the said institution accused did not
expressed and informed in details about the necessity of the operation of your
petitioner ward. The said operation has been conducted forcibly and without the
consent of your petitioner. Thus the accused persons committed offences
punishable under Section 352 of the Indian Penal Code’ 1860.
ppp)
That your Petitioner state and submits
that usually, hospitals takes a blanket consent when a patient is admitted,
this form of consent is legally invalid and your petitioner is unaware of this
fact.
qqq)
That your Petitioner state and submits
that the said institution, hospitals and the Doctors engaged therein, can also
be booked under Section 336, 337, and 338 of the Indian Penal Code’ 1860, for

That the above named complainant moves

of Police of the Alipore Police Station, Alipore, Kolkata – 700 027, under
Section 156 (3) of the Criminal Procedure Code’ 1973 to register FIR against
the accused persons.
vvv)
That since the Officer – in – Charge
of Police of the Alipore Police Station, did not register FIR under Section
304, 336, 337, 338, 352, 116, 167, & 168 of the Indian Penal Code’ 1860
read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code’ 1860, since September’ 2009,
your Petitioner constrained to move this application. They maintain that since
the Judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court, no case can be registered against
the Doctors and the Hospitals, which is not true. FIR can be registered against
the Doctors and the Hospitals. First they are duty bound to register FIR under
Section 154 (1) of the Criminal Procedure Code’ 1973, and whereas they need not
immediately arrest the accused persons as per another Supreme Court Judgment
vide Order dated 14th July 2008 in WP (Crl) no. 68 of 2008, the Hon’ble Supreme
Court of India ( BN AGrawal and GS Singhvi, JJ ), passed the following order :
"It may further give direction to take immediate steps for apprehending the accused persons and recovery of kidnapped/abducted persons and properties which were subject matter of theft or dacoity. In case F.I.Rs are not registered within the aforementioned time, and/or aforementioned steps are not taken by the police, the concerned Magistrate would be justified in initiating contempt proceeding against such delinquent officers and punish them for violation of its orders if no sufficient cause is shown and awarding stringent punishment like sentence of imprisonment against them inasmuch as the Disciplinary Authority would be quite justified in initiating departmental proceeding and suspending them in contemplation of the same".
But they can not refuse to record a FIR. That is the position in law. If the Officer-in-Charge of Police or Senior Inspector-in-Charge of Police of the Police Station or Station House fails to record the FIR a written complaint can be made to the Commissioner of Police of the area, which too was made twice. Under Section 156 (3) of the Criminal Procedure Code’ 1973, even this Learned Court has jurisdiction to direct the said Officer-in-Charge of the Alipore Police Station, Alipore, Kolkata – 700 027.

www) That there is now absolutely no ambiguity in
this regard, vide para 52 of Jacob Mathew’s case and also in para 54 of Martin
F D’Souza’s Case in Civil Appeal No. 3541 of 2002, decided on 17th day of
February’2009, by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, in the following manner :
“ (i) A private complaint should not be entertained unless the complainant has produced prima facie evidence before the court in form of a credible opinion given by another competent doctor to support the charge of rashness or negligence on the part of the accused doctor.
(ii) The investigating officer should, before proceeding against the doctor accused of rash or negligent act or omission, obtain an independent and competent medical opinion, preferably from a Doctor in government service, qualified in that branch of medical practice who can normally expected to give an impartial opinion applying the Bolam test.
(iii) A doctor accused of negligence
should not be arrested in a routine manner simply because a charge has been
leveled against him. Unless his arrest is necessary for furthering the
investigation or for collecting evidence or unless the investigating officer
feels satisfied that the doctor proceeded against would not make himself
available to face the prosecution unless arrested, the arrest should be
withheld.”
xxx)
That
since, the Police have consistently failed to register your Petitioner’s FIR
and take action against the accused persons, since the month of September’
2009, for obvious reasons, this is a fit case for immediate intervention of
this Learned Court.
