The following e-mail is visiting a lot of inboxes these days:
Right to Emergency Care:
Date Of Judgment: 23/02/2007.
Case No.: Appeal (civil) 919 of 2007.The Supreme Court has ruled that all injured persons especially in the
case of road traffic accidents, assaults, etc., when brought to a
hospital / medical centre, have to be offered first aid, stabilized and
shifted to a higher centre / government centre if required. It is only
after this that the hospital can demand payment or complete police
formalities. In case you are a bystander and wish to help someone in an
accident, please go ahead and do so. Your responsibility ends as soon
as you leave the person at the hospital.The hospital bears the responsibility of informing the police, first
aid, etc.Please do inform your family and friends about these basic rights so
that we all know what to expect and what to do in the hour of need.
Please not only go ahead and forward, use it too!!!!
The message tells us that this is the Supreme Court judgement to Appeal(Civil) 919 of 2007. On searching the Judgement Information System it was clear that the case was in no manner related to the said message.
It was about a no-profit charitable hospital based in Ghanapur, Andhra Pradesh having claimed exemptions on imported medical equipments, based on Para 2 of Notification No. 64/88-Cus, which were granted. But since according to the classification of hospitals by the notification, it fell under Para 3, it also applied for exemption under the same, after the first exemption was granted.
On rejection of the second application, they filed the case in the AP High Court, which again didn’t go in their favour and hence this case was filed in Supreme Court.
For more details, on the case, check out the Judgement Information System.
Always verify any such crucial information related to the lives of people before you believe in it.

this is a rumour, that is the bad thing about it.
It would be better if our Supreme Court had made it a general order or constitution ammendment.

very important information but in our day to day experience, we find that these are not percolated to all levels. steps are required to be taken to transmit this to all concerned.
the society is changing fast and values are disappearing faster. such informations should reach to the younger generations and they must be motivated to act.
thanks.

It is really disgusting that in the land of Mahatma Gandhi, who preached non-violence for his entire life, people are getting such treatment. There is in fact zero humanitarian ground on this basis. How can you harass the person who saved someone life.
Is this way a good deed is rewarded? Its good that after 57 years of independence, the Honorable Supreme court has finally taken this case into its fold and delivered proper justice.

What if the one you are trying to help, dies on the way to hospital ?? Does the law support the ones who try to help the injured in this case ??

friends…let the supreme court do what it has to do…and let us do what we have to do….I am damn sure that if u leave a dying person for the fear of harrassment and troubles then ur conscience will come eating at u sm day or other…so at least for ur sake….if not for others…irrespective of court decisions…never make the mistake of not helping anyone in such a case…the joy of victory over death shall be much greater than the perils of harrasment.
