Dr. Suresh Gupta vs Govt. Of N.C.T. Of Delhi & Anr

The Supreme Court granted leave to appeal in a case involving a doctor charged under Section 304A IPC for causing the death of a patient during surgery. The Court found that the High Court's refusal to quash the proceedings was justified, as the post-mortem report indicated that the death resulted from negligence during the operation, specifically due to blood seeping into the respiratory passage. The Court held that there were sufficient grounds to proceed with the trial against the doctor for criminal negligence under Section 304A IPC.
