Emedinews:Insights on Medicolegal issues: Summon from court of law



The medical professional must keep in mind that the Criminal Courts have priority over Civil Courts. If a witness is summoned by two Courts on the same day, one of which is criminal and other civil, he should attend the Criminal Court and inform the Civil Court of his inability to attend, giving his reasons. Higher Courts have priority over the lower.
If he is summoned from two Courts of same status, he must attend the Court from where he received the summons first, informing the other Court about it. He can attend the second Court after finishing his evidence in the first Court.
