Govt May Consider Introducing Legal Safeguards For Healthcare Workers: Panel

editor November 28, 2023Leave a comment

New Delhi, Nov 28: A parliamentary panel has stated that the government may think about enacting suitable legal protections for healthcare professionals, who occasionally experience violence from family members or companions of patients. A memorandum submitted by various medical associations asked the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Home Affairs, chaired by BJP member Brij Lal, to introduce provisions under Clause 115 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) to penalise acts of violence against healthcare service personnel. The committee then examined the three proposed criminal laws. In its report, the committee stated that evidence was presented to the panel indicating that, in contrast to other professions, healthcare workers are susceptible to “violent attacks” from patient relatives in situations where patients pass away while receiving treatment.The medical associations informed the committee that there is a need to establish some legal protections for healthcare workers because violent attacks against them are common across the nation. The Union Home Ministry responded by saying that there is no distinction made in the penal laws for any class of people and that all are subject to the general penal provisions. The home ministry emphasised that everyone is equal in the eyes of the law. The state has a duty to safeguard the lives of all of its citizens, including medical professionals and other professionals like advocates, bankers, chartered accountants, and media personnel.The home ministry noted that making special provisions for physicians and other health care workers might lead to demands of a similar nature from other professions, including advocates, bankers, chartered accountants, and members of the media. The committee was also advised by the home ministry that the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare is considering introducing a "Medical Professionals Act" to protect healthcare workers from violent attacks. The home ministry promised to get an update from the Ministry on this matter.The committee stated that it "opines that the government may consider introducing appropriate legal safeguards for healthcare workers after considering the concerns of the healthcare personnel." According to Clause 115 of the BNS, anyone who intentionally causes harm will be punished with either type of imprisonment for a term that may not exceed seven years, as well as a fine, if the harm is grievous harm that he intends to cause or knows himself to be likely to cause.Along with the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS-2023) and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA-2023) bills, the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS-2023) bill was introduced in the Lok Sabha on August 11. The three proposed laws aim to supersede the Indian Evidence Act of 1872, the Indian Penal Code of 1860, and the Code of Criminal Procedure Act of 1898, in that order.

editor November 27, 2023Leave a comment

New Delhi, Nov 27: In a case involving bribery, the Central Bureau of Investigation has filed a complaint against two senior members of the Directorate of Plant Protection, Quarantine & Storage (PPQS). Within the Department of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare's Plant Protection Division, the Directorate of Plant Protection, Quarantine, and Storage is an organisation under the Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers' Welfare of the Indian government. Sanjay Arya, Joint Director (Plant Pathology), Directorate of Plant Protection, Quarantine & Storage (PPQS), Faridabad, and Padam Singh, the Plant Protection Officer (PPO) at the time, Plant Quarantine, Visakhapatnam, have been identified as the accused parties named in the FIR.According to the formal complaint filed in this case, Sanjay Arya looked into the complaint that Rajesh Acharya had made against Padam Singh, PPO, Plant Quarantine, Visakhapatnam. Rajesh Acharya claimed in the complaint that Padam Singh was pressuring exporters for payment and threatening to cease operations if his demands were not met.Sanjay Arya visited Visakhapatnam in May 2022 as part of the investigation and examined the complainant. According to what we've been told, complainant Rajesh Acharya reiterated that Padam Singh has been extorting money from exporters and hasn't accepted their requests for timely clearance of goods, which has caused delays in stock loading on vessels and resulted in significant losses for them. Additionally, the complaint stated that in May and June of 2022, the complainant sent emails to Sanjay Arya complaining that Padam Singh was refusing to approve their applications and was requesting a Certificate of Appreciation from him.Sanjay Arya suggested closing the complaint after the investigation was finished because there was no evidence to support the allegations. Consequently, it said, the matter has been closed. It went on, "Sources also revealed that Dr. Sanjay Arya accepted Rs. 2 lakh as an undue advantage from Padam Singh in two instances through one Satish Singh in order to give a favourable report in respect of the said enquiry." An inquiry into the situation is in progress. We're waiting for more information.
