A forwarded mail
Right to Emergency Care:
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. Please not only go ahead and forward, use it too!!!!

Is it really true?
I would like to remind you that this mail is not entirely true. I tried to check on the internet about it, and this led me to the official website for Judgment Information System of Supreme Court of India.
If you go directly to this site,
http://judis.nic.in/supremecourt/chejudis.aspnic.in/supremecourt/chejudis.asp
You will find a link about Cases. Once you choose Appeal (Civil) in the drop down box and the Case no. You wouldn't find any record.Either the claim is false or it could well be a wrong case number. Many people claim that it is just a rumor. But it is also likely that the judgment is just listed with a wrong Case no. Anyway, it is important to really find out the truth, officially from the Supreme Court. We do not want to play with lives of people based on a wrong assumption.
Can anyone throw some light onto the issue ?

I did not even read the post. I just read the blog title - Catch you in sweet November.
Why? Are u going off all of October? Won't you be blogging this month?
Hey Sam!
Yeah, would not be blogging this October, got a lot of things on hand. And the need is full attention and focus on something very important.
How am I still typing this? I need atleast a little break once in a while.
So catch you in November. Got so many things to discuss about. But so little time.
