Supreme Court Slams Hospitals For Denying Treatment Over Sexually Assaulted Girl's Death

The court also described the alleged conduct of the hospitals and local authorities as “indifferent, inhuman, and insensitive,” while noting that emergency medical care should have been initiated without delay. “What kind of doctor are you? If you cannot give medical assistance to a grievously injured child, do not prefix ‘Dr’ before your name. If you had any sensitivity, you would have facilitated her father,” the bench said. The bench said, “Though the recommendation of the SIT is to impose a penalty on the hospitals, we had asked you to donate. If we impose a penalty, it will have a chilling effect.”
