Indian Forensic Medicine Academy's annual national convention inaugurated
Chairperson of Madhya Pradesh Human Rights Commission Justice Shri DM Dharmadhikari has said that forensic experts can be helpful in human rights' protection. Forensic science is a complimentary branch of law.
Therefore, forensic department in all the medical institutes should be strengthened. Justice Dharmadhikari expressed these views while addressing the inaugural session of 31st annual national convention of Indian Forensic Medicine Academy here today.
Those specially present on the occasion included Justice Shri NK Jain, Justice Shri RC Mishra, Director Medical Education Dr. VK Seni, Dr. DK Satpathi and Dr. Badkul. He and other distinguished guest also released a souvenir brought out by forensic science department of Gandhi Medical College. Shri Dharmadhikari bestowed fellowships on six experts of various forensic institutions in the country. They include Dr Dalbir Singh (Punjab), Dr. Indrajit Ray (Kolkata), Dr. R Basu (Kolkata), Dr. A Momanchand Singh (Tamil Nadu), Dr. SK Tripathi (Benaras) and Dr Pradeep Kumar.
Shri Dharmadhikari said that forensic science plays an important role in the investigation into criminal incidents. But mostly, the post-mortem experts are unaware of details of the incident due to which they perform their work in a mechanical style. As a result, courts find it tough to take conclusive decisions. In this connection, Madhya Pradesh should adopt the method being practised in Maharashtra. He recalled that with a view to removing post-mortem discrepancies, the National Human Rights Commission has recommended for videographing of post-mortem process.
Director Medical Education Shri VK Seni said that the objective of this conference will be apprising the participants of the new inventions in the sphere of forensic science. He called for organising brief training sessions from time to time for the surgeons who perform post-mortem for updating their knowledge.
Justice RC Mishra said that there have been some fresh researches in the field of human genetics. But the medical colleges do not have adequate infrastructure for making use of these researches in dispensation of justice.
Justice NK Jain said that medical profession has also been brought under the ambit of Consumer Protection Act over which medical practitioners feel uneasiness. He said that the Supreme Court has ruled recently in D'Souza case that experts should be consulted before summoning any doctor in a case.
Earlier, Dean of Gandhi Medical College Dr. BP Dube said that permission should be given for education and training to the medicos undergoing studies at medical colleges. He said that Consumer Protection Act is a major challenge before doctors and advised medical practitioners to take up this challenge by keep updating their knowledge. A vote of thanks was proposed by Dr. Badkul.
