Meanwhile, in a different case, the Bombay High Court has asked the government of Maharashtra to place on record the number of FIRs it has lodged in cases of assault on Doctors in Maharashtra till now.
“We need to protect doctors as they are saving the society,” Chief Justice Datta noted.
In the wake of rise in cases of doctors being assaulted by kin of patients, the HC noted, “we need to protect the doctors at this hour, especially when they are already working hard and under stress. As a responsible state, we will fail in our duty if we don’t protect them.”
