- In the case of Atul Kumar Tiwari vs. State of MP and ors. a very peculiar circumstance has come to light. The MP High Court has requested it’s Registrar General to file a complaint case against the petitioner for producing fake medical documents and making false statements before the Court.
- The petitioner, in the instant case, had filed a writ petition challenging the order passed by his employers who rejected his representations to condone his absence on the grounds of serious illness for 3 years, and his request to be reinstated in service.
- The petitioner alleged that he was a heart patient and that he was seeking medical treatment from various doctors, due to which he was away without leave for the duration of three years, when his services were terminated by his employer.
- The Court observed that he had filed several documents related to his alleged heart problems and that the certificates and the prescriptions that were submitted were without the signatures of the doctors.
- It is pertinent to note that the Court drew it’s attention to one document in particular which reflected that the man had labour pains. The Court hilariously pointed out that a bare perusal of the documents has made the Court realise that the petitioner could be a person of immense interest to the medical community. An admission slip had been issued in the petitioner’s name by the Samuhik Swasthya Kendra dated 29/9/2011 where it is written “Amenorrhea 9 Month labour pain started since today morning at 5 am”
- “Perhaps yet another case of immaculate conception with no available details of the messiah born therefrom”, the Court commented.
- The Court observed that the petitioner, in all probability, visited the health-care centre and found the admission slip lying around discarded, without the name and details of the patient, and the petitioner filled in his own details without really knowing what the document was for.
- The Hon’ble Court thus dismissed the petition and requested the Registrar General to file a complaint case against the petitioner for offences under section 468, 471 and the like provision of IPC and any other law under which the petitioner might be prosecuted.
