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.
Government pleader Nitin Sambhare accepted the notice on behalf of state ministry of health, which is returnable within five weeks.
The PIL also pointed out that sometimes the concerned doctors, who prepare the medico-legal report, either leave the services of the hospital or are not traceable and other doctors are directed to appear in the court in their place, but due to illegible handwriting of the concerned doctor, the one deputed in the place is not able to decipher it.
Thus, it causes great inconvenience in communicating the exact facts mentioned in the postmortem reports and FMRs during their evidence examination, which adversely affects the ends of justice and unnecessarily consumes lot of time of the court, the petition added.
