This query is : Resolved
Can I go voluntarily, to a Govt. Hospital (without my parents/guardian/informant/ since I am 22 years old) for mental evaluation/assessment/examination/check-up/test/diagnosis, to get mental fitness certificate, since there are allegations that I am not in corpus mentis/mentally unfit/ill/unsound/insane, from my college and police.
If they reject me, can they be sued in consumer court. Please help

You can go there and request them to do the needful but on their refusal as you presume, you have no opportunity to approach consumer forum rather you can make complaint to the management of the hospital or their higher authorities.
