body2012
ORDER : Notice. 2. Reply affidavit has already been filed. Liberty to file rejoinder affidavit within two weeks. 3. It remains undisputed before us that it is not insufficiency of law but it is implementation of law which is a matter of concern. Different guidelines including guidelines for ambulance Code, emergency care and appropriate directions to the hospitals on the highways for handling the accident trauma patients, as a top priority are stated to have been issued. 4. Learned counsel appearing for the parties submit that an expert committee would need to be constituted to monitor the various directions issued for their due compliance. 5. Learned counsel for the parties even propose to make joint suggestions in this regard after consulting the relevant Ministries and NHA. The counsel appearing for the petitioner has vehemently argued that the joint suggestions now to be filed should also consider the directions and safeguards that could be provided to the passers-by or informers of the accident. This will even help the expeditious disposal of criminal cases. Let this aspect be also examined by the learned counsel appearing for the parties who are to submit the joint suggestions. 6. Let the matter come up after three weeks.
