Court nod to prosecute govt doctor for molestation

Update: 2013-07-17 23:58 GMT
A Delhi court has ordered initiation of criminal prosecution against a government doctor for allegedly molesting a female patient while examining her. District judge J R Aryan allowed the revision petition of the Delhi police, while setting aside the order of a magistrate who had discharged doctor Rajesh Kumar due to the absence of sanction to prosecute him. The court said sanction for prosecution of the accused was not required as the act attributed to him was ‘prima facie’ not part of discharge of his duty as a public servant.
