Learned counsel for the Petitioner submits that the present matter pertains to a case of medical negligence, wherein the victim/deceased (Smt. Najis), wife of the Petitioner, was admitted to a hospital. During the course of treatment, a nurse of the said hospital allegedly administered a liquid medication, which resulted in frothing from the mouth of the victim/deceased. It is further submitted that without consulting the family members of the victim/deceased, she was referred to another hospital and, during transit to the said hospital, she unfortunately passed away. Consequently, a complaint alleging medical negligence was made to the authorities; however, till date, no concrete action has been taken. 5. Learned State Counsel, however, submits that in the present matter, the viscera of the victim/deceased, wife of the Petitioner, has been preserved and the viscera report is still awaited. 6.
