Curtailing Unnecessary Post-mortems- Pilot Project at Wardha- Role of MGIMS- Wardha SP Ankit Goyal's Unique Decision

We are privilege to share with you all that after around one year of constant efforts we could successfully implement a project to curtail unnecessary/ avoidable post-mortems under the leadership of Wardha Superintendent of Police Shri Ankit Goyal.

For the first time in the country, we will be in a process to implement the 117 years old law (174 CrPC) properly and correctly. Present law (117 yrs old law) does not authorizes the police to order Post-mortem in each and every case reported to them. They have the said authority only when there is a doubt about the cause of death. But, unfortunately, the said law was never followed and implemented correctly all over the country since decades.       

The implementation of the project has been started from MGIMS Sevagram and then in step wise manner it would involve other autopsy centres of the Wardha district. For modified inquest format PLEASE CLICK HERE.
