Talwar was 14 years old when she was murdered in 2008. The book mentions how the judge started scripting the judgment before the trial was even concluded.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Another example is the Salman Khan hit-and-run case in which the judges of the lower and the high courts gave verdicts that were vastly different, to say the least. This, when they were both presented with the same pieces of evidence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Responses as disparate as some of the case verdicts<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Even though Dr. Ramesh Ganesan asked a question that seems logical, not all the responses are in the affirmative.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Sharad Gupta, a High Court lawyer opines that since wrong diagnosis can be life threatening but immediate loss of life etc. isn\u2019t a problem in judiciary, doctors who make wrong diagnosis deserve strict disciplinary actions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">L.Ravichander-the designated senior counsel of the Supreme Court and High Court points out that judges often rely on substandard infrastructure and that the functional judicial system is outdated. He adds that since you balance different factors while judging, even though the judgment may be wrong, it cannot be because of negligence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Somewhat similar is the viewpoint of the High Court lawyer Niranjan Reddy. He says that while a doctor has everything under his control for diagnosis, a judge must deal with many variables.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">On the flipside is what Dr. Rajneesh Reddy- a consultant surgeon at Apollo Hospitals says. He is of the firm view that judges as well as politicians are ultimately answerable to the people, so methodology for the same should be in place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Dr. Alla Gopala Krishna- a consultant cardiothoracic and transplant surgeon with Apollo Hospitals takes arguably the most reasonable stand. He mentions the importance of evolving a system which ensures that both medical and justice systems are monitored for the sake of the people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>With inputs from The Deccan Chronicle<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Image Credits:\u00a0rediff.com<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With relation to prosecuting doctors for wrong diagnosis, Dr.Ramesh Ganesan posed an interesting question on the Consumer Resources\u2019 blog: whether the Judiciary too must come under the Consumer Protection Act(CPA)?
