Guidelines for Medico Legal Certification with Review of Statutes
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
The term ‘MLC’ (Medico legal case) has been creating mayhem in the minds of millions of medical practitioners for years, and will continue to do for years to come. Even today, the term fails to find a place neither in the medical dictionary nor is defined specifically in IEA, IPC or CrPC. Obviously; there are no prescribed legal guidelines for preparing it without any impediment. Many practitioners lack the awareness to prepare a medico-legal report properly, because whatever knowledge they have is either borrowed from their senior colleague, or from the standard textbooks in forensic medicine. But, it is an inopportune that, none of the standard textbooks mention adequate guidelines to prepare a proper medico-legal certificate. We, therefore, through this article, will try to layout a general guideline, for prudently preparing a medico-legal report. Simultaneously, we will review the various Indian statutes concerning the intricacies thereof and explain the various trivia that may be questioned in a court of law out of erroneously writing such a report.
