Title : Right to Emergency Care - Supreme Court.
Date Of Judgment: 23/02/2007.
Case No.: Appeal (civil) 919 of 2007.

The Supreme Court has ruled that all injured persons especially in the case of road traffic accidents, assaults, etc., when brought to a hospital / medical centre, have to be offered first aid, stabilized and shifted to a higher centre / government centre if required.

It is only after this that the hospital can demand payment or complete police formalities.

In case you are a bystander and wish to help someone in an accident, please go ahead and do so.

Your responsibility ends as soon as you leave the person at the hospital.

The hospital bears the responsibility of informing the police, first aid, etc.

Please do inform your family and friends about these basic rights so that we all know what to expect and what to do in the hour of need.

Ordinary People

Ordinary People

Walking on the road, you pass so many people. Some look confident, purposeful, well-dressed, well-maintained. But the majority appear so ordinary, wear ill-fitting clothes, unfashionable footwear, have too much fat or too little, nothing remarkable about them, nothing attractive.

But yet someone somewhere eagerly waits for this unimpressive man to come home every evening.


Someone's entire world turns around the strength of this frail-looking woman.


Someone's very purpose in life hinges on this brash youngster cutting through traffic.


Someone knows only the shelter of these old arms each time their world begins to crumble.


Someone will count hours, minutes, and weep like a child when this pock-marked face alights from a long-distance train.


Someone will cave in, crack up, and never be the same again if this one person disappears from the face of the world.


There are no ordinary people… No one…!!!
