Difficult for Doctors to Work If They Always Face the Threat of Being Beaten Up/Harassed by Patients' Relatives: P& amp;H High Court The Punjab and Haryana High Court recently observed that if doctors face the threat of being beaten up or being harassed by the relatives of patients every single day, then it would be difficult for them to function. Justice Vikas Bahl observed thus while dismissing a 482 CrPC plea for quashing of an FIR registered against Naresh Kumar and others for allegedly creating turmoil and disturbance in the Hospital, beating up doctors and threatening to murder the Doctor. After perusing the FIR and taking into account other relevant circumstances and pieces of evidence, the Court was prima facie of the view that force and violence had been used by the relatives of the deceased and they were found to be in an unlawful assembly, thus, an offence under Section 149 IPC would stand. The Court observed that although, there would be a feeling of sympathy towards persons whose family member has passed away but the said persons including the petitioners must respect the Doctors who always try their best to save the lives of patients and, thus, such persons should not breach the law in case some untoward incident happens.
