The Orissa high court has criticized a police station in Cuttack for not registering a complaint of alleged medical negligence for four years. The court has also questioned the Director of Medical Education and Training (DMET) for failing to form a medical board and provide expert opinion on the case after 32 months.
The Orissa High Court has held that Domestic Incident Report (DIR) from the Protection Officer is not mandatory and hence, not a pre-requisite to grant relief to an aggrieved woman under Section.
