In a recent ruling by the Supreme Court of India, issues of medical negligence,
mens rea and legal procedures laid down by the Apex Court came into focus, once again. The bench of Justices AM Khanwilkar and Sanjiv Khanna set aside a judgment of the Patna High Court as well as the summoning order issued by the Trial Court and ruled
mens rea was not required in Medical Negligence cases.
