Procedure for call for records from hospital

980 votes

you can file an application through your lawyer to issue summons to the hospital authorities to produce the documents in respect of your wife's condition and disease, but the stage at which it can be called has to be seen, after issue of notice if your wife denies that she is suffering from the said disease, the court may allow your application and you can also apply for issuing summons to doctor who has treated or treating to produce the documents and also to give evidence. it is bit difficult to destroy hospital records but cannot be ruled out completely, but there are very less chances that the hospital will indulge itself in such things and take risk. The court can accept the application but most likely at the initial stage may not call for records unless you make a very strong submission that the records can be destroyed and the Judge is convinced.
