"DOCTORS VS JUDGES": Judiciary should also come under CPA (Consumer Protection Act).

DOCTORS VS JUDICIARY

 

--In the Salman Khan hit and run case the LOWER court judge and the HIGH court judge had the SAME pieces of EVIDENCE to deal with.


--They also had the SAME Indian LAW to abide by and most probably they had similar educational qualifications too.

--Yet, they INTERPRETED the situation in absolutely CONTRASTING manner and
gave verdicts which are poles apart.

--Just imagine what would have happened if a YOUNG doctor sitting in a GOVERNMENT hospital, catering to hundreds of patients in a day,had
diagnosed a celebrity patient presenting with gastric discomfort as GASTRITIS and another hospital had LATER on diagnosed that patient to be having a MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION. I am sure that doctor would have been
Prosecuted and jailed.

--A JUDGE gets YEARS to decide on a case unlike a DOCTOR who is expected to diagnose and treat everything in the BLINK of an eye.

--If a doctor making a wrong diagnosis can be prosecuted shouldn't a judge giving wrong verdicts meet the same fate?

--If hospitals can be sued for not admitting poor patients shouldn't the courts be prosecuted for having lakhs of pending cases?

--Is it not appalling that a judge taking 12 years to give a wrong verdict gets away unscathed and a doctor making one mistake is punished by our legal system?

--Doctors practice medicine which is more of an art than an exact science, whereas law is absolutely 100% manmade, yet doctors are expected to be right on all occasions.

--If doctors and hospitals have a duty towards the society then does the judiciary not have a responsibility towards society ?

--If there is so much of hue and cry in media about doctors and hospitals charging huge sums from patients then why do we not ever hear a word on the
fee that lawyers like Manu Singhvi and Jethmalani charge for their court appearances ?

--Government often talks about putting a cap on the fees doctors charge for various procedures but there is no talk of putting a cap on the fees that these lawyers charge, win or lose, just to appear in court for their clients ?

--If health is a citizen's right then so is justice. Shouldn't we take our minds off worshipping false heroes & think?

The bottom line is :

***ISNT IT A HIGHNTIME NOW THAT JUDICIARY MUST ALSO COME UNDER THE CPA (CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT)***
