Forensic reports: Maharashtra HC issues notice
Nagpur: A High Court bench today issued notice to Maharashtra health department for computerization of forensic medical reports rather than writing them in a decipherable manner. The notice was issued over a PIL by Dr.
Advocate Patait contended that the FMRs prepared by doctors in cases of sexual assault, injuries in cases of assault, attempt to murder, road traffic accident, poisoning cases, person causing nuisance under the influence of alcohol, arrested person, dowry death, torture and murder cases, including post-mortem reports etc, play a major role in meeting the ends of justice.
He further argued that illegible handwriting of medicos in FMRs is a cause of worry and even courts have expressed displeasure over the handwriting of doctors.
The PIL pointed out that illegible handwriting causes tremendous problems in day-to-day functioning of the courts and it is one of the impediments in meeting the ends of justice, it leads to wastage of valuable time of judiciary during the trial of cases, is difficult to read for deciding the cases and creates confusion.
