Kerala HC Refuses to Quash Case Against Doctor’s Misconduct: ‘A Woman Can Identify Violations with Lascivious Motives”

The Kerala High Court refused to quash a case against a doctor accused of pressing a patient’s breasts during a Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) procedure. The court stated that a woman can usually tell the difference between a doctor’s professional actions and inappropriate behavior. The doctor had sought dismissal of the case, but the court ruled that the allegations need proper legal examination.
