Judiciary should also come under the CPA (Consumer Protection Act) as below listed arguments will convince you that we should bring a movement in India to also make judges accountable for their actions.
--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 education qualifications too.
--Yet they INTERPRETED the situation in an 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 doctor 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 screwed 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 lacs of impending cases?
--Is it not appalling that a judge taking 12 years to give a wrong verdict gets away unhurt and a doctor making one mistake is screwed 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 society then does the judiciary not have a responsibility towards society.
--If there is so much 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 capping on the fees doctors charge for various procedures but there is no talk of putting a capping on the fee that these lawyers charge to get justice for their clients.
--If health is a citizen's right then so is justice. Shall we take our minds off worshipping false heroes & think?
JUDICIARY SHOULD ALSO COME UNDER CPA (CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT)
