Fir attempt to malign his image: Assn

Members of the GADVASU Teachers Association said the FIR is a deliberate attempt to malign the image of the professor. They alleged that the FIR is against the ruling of the Supreme Court which laid down guidelines for prosecuting medical professionals.

They alleged that the FIR was against the ruling of the Supreme Court which laid down guidelines for prosecuting medical professionals. According to the ruling, “A private complaint may not be entertained unless the complainant has produced prima facie evidence before court in the form of a credible opinion given by another competent doctor to support the charge of rashness or negligence on the part of accused doctor.”

Contrary to the guidelines of the court, a zero FIR was lodged without verifying facts by forming a committee according to guidelines laid by the court, teachers alleged. The sections under which the FIR was lodged also indicate foul play to malign the reputation of a renowned doctor and institute, they added.

If the FIR is not withdrawn or quashed immediately, the association may move the High Court under Section 482 of CrPC for the quashing of the FIR.
