‘Health Secretary may be summoned’

MADURAI, APRIL 06, 2019 00:00 IST

With the State yet to file a report on a public interest litigation petition that sought a direction to videograph post mortem, the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court on Friday said that if there was no response, the court would be constrained to summon the Health Secretary. A Division Bench of Justices N. Kirubakaran and S.S. Sundar adjourned the hearing by a week.

The court was hearing the public interest litigation petition filed by advocate Arun Swaminathan from Madurai, who sought a direction to videograph post mortem across the State to avoid irregularities.

He complained that a cut-copy-paste procedure was followed while issuing the certificates and the conduct of post mortem was not in accordance with the Tamil Nadu Medical Code, he said.
