1st NATIONAL TRIAL ADVOCACY MOOT

COMPETITION, 2015
1st Oct. to 3rd Oct. 2015

Outline for Trial Advocacy Moot Problem 2015

1.

Mahesh Rahane, a 10-year-old boy who studied in CBS School fell down while playing
in school on 02-02-2015, he was given first aid by the school staff.

2.

On 3rd February 2015 he was shown to a Doctor, Dr. Sunil Rahu at around 10 am and an
X-ray was completed by 11.30 am. The doctor upon examining he advised Rakesh
Rahane, father of Mahesh Rahane that Mahesh had injuries on his left hand and it just
needed ointment and bandage dressing to be done regularly. All this while the child was
in pain. It is around last week of February, Mahesh was taken to the same doctor, after
taking a X-ray the doctor discovered that the left hand was fractured.

3.

The parents by this time realized that the doctor wasnt skilled enough and that was the
reason they decided to take Mahesh to an Orthopedist, Dr. Mohit Surja on 28th February,
who after examining the X-ray advised the family that their child had to be operated and
the operation could involve certain complications which they need to be mentally
prepared for. The family was yet not confident when the doctor advised them for
operation and asked the doctor to hold on the operation for 2 days, so as to be sure about
the treatment the doctor was advising, they showed their child to two more doctors to take
their opinion on the same. After the two doctors also advised for operation, Rakesh
accompanied by his wife & few relatives consented for Mahesh to be operated by Dr.
Mohit Surja and deposited Rs.10, 000 at the hospital desk as advance for the operation
and the charges to be paid for the room in which Mahesh was going to be admitted.

4.

Mr. Rakesh Rahane signed the consent form for the operation and the wife consented to
become the witness for the same. The consent form is annexed and marked as Exhibit-A.
After the formalities being completed, the operation began at around 2:00 pm, Dr. Mohit
Surja was assisted by Junior Doctor, Dr. Vijay Kukreja and a nurse, Miss. Shalani Singh.
At around 5:00pm, Dr. Mohit Surja came outside the operation theatre and informed the
parents that certain complications emerged during the operation and Mahesh is not able to
breathe. Dr.Mohit Surja thereby explained the family of Mahesh that their hospital did not
have the facility of ventilator and their child had to be shifted to another hospital at the
earliest. The doctor himself made certain calls to nearby hospitals and to his colleagues,

much to the surprise none of them were equipped with the ventilator facility.
5.

Finally, Dr. Mohit Surja through his contacts made sure the child could avail the
ventilator facility in Retro Hospital, Dharampeth, Nagpur. By the time the child could be
shifted from Dr. Mohit Surjas hospital Surja Care Hospital in Sadar to Retro
Hospital in Dharampeth. Dr. Yusuf sent his hospital ambulance with a Junior Doctor and
asked him to help the child breathe with the oxygen mask. Thereafter, Dr.Yusuf was
waiting at the emergency ward for the ambulance to arrive, he quickly shifted the child to
ICU and assessed the situation of the patient. He then informed the parents of the child
that there were bleak chances of his survival, he even asked the parents to shift the child
if they felt comfortable in doing so or they could ask doctors known to them to come and
assess the child. They called Dr. Jeetesh Rane who asked Dr. Yusuf to stop the treatment
till he came and assessed the situation; in the meanwhile Dopamine was administered.
After Dr. Jeetesh Rane visited, Dr. Yusuf called Dr. Surja to urgently come to his
hospital, Dr. Surja immediately left all his work and reached Retro Hospital, as soon as he
reached the hospital Dr. Yusuf informed that the child was dead, to which Dr. Surja
requested CPR treatment and DC shocks to revive the child.

6.

Dr. Yusuf informed the parents that the child was dead, the parents were horrified when
they heard this, they were not ready to accept the truth and they told Dr.Yusuf that they
would take the child to the mandir, so that god could save their child. Dr. Yusuf
consented even though he knew it wont save the child, as the child was dead already.
After 30 minutes the parents came back with their child after taking him to the mandir
and requested Dr. Yusuf to save him, Dr.Yusuf gave the child C.P.R and D.C shock was
given but it couldnt revive the child.

7.

After sometime, the relatives of the Rahane family started creating a scene in the Hospital
and at around 10.00 pm they thereby started destroying the hospital property, and
threatened to take strict action against the Hospital authorities and against Dr. Yusuf, Dr.
Mohit Surja. The family of the deceased blamed the doctors for the death of their child,
according to Rahanes it was Dr.Surja who was negligent while treating their child as he
did not call an anesthetist while the child was operating and which thereby resulted in the
death of their child. Police reached Retro Hospital at around 11.00pm and took note of
the happenings and tried to curb the mob, which had gathered. Subsequently an offence
was registered against Dr. Surja. He applied for anticipatory bail before the Sessions
court of Nagpur on 5.3.2015 and was granted anticipatory bail by the Honble Sessions
Court on 7.3.2015.

Thereafter the investigating officer after recording the statement of witnesses as well as
accused doctors and after collecting the relevant material and filed the chargesheet before the
Learned Magistrate, who in turn sent the said case to sessions court by committing the same to it
as the offence levied i.e. 304-A, 323, 336 of I P C is triable by Court of Sessions. Accordingly
now matter is pending for its adjudication before Honourable Sessions Court, Nagpur.

Statement of Witnesses
(Statements under Section 161 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973)

1.

Name:- Rakesh Rahane

Address:- Plot No.232, Sadar, Nagpur
I am a businessman, I have a furniture shop in Itwari, Nagpur. On 02-02-2015, I got a call

from CBS school, where my 8-year-old son Mahesh studied that Mahesh had fell down and
injured himself. The school staff gave him first aid and asked me to take Mahesh to a doctor, so I
took him to Dr. Sunil Rahu on 03-03-2015 at around 10 am, the doctor opined after going
through the X-ray that it was not a fracture and it just needed bandage and dressing had to be
done regularly. Sometime around the last week, Mahesh complained of pain again, so I and my
wife decided to take him to the doctor who asked for fresh X-ray scan and much to our surprise,
it was discovered that the bone of the left hand was joined wrongly. I and wife were furious and
decided to take Mahesh to a specialist, so we took him to Dr. Mohit Surja. Dr. Mohit Surja after
going through the X-ray opined that the child needs to be operated at the earliest and it could
involve certain complications. At that moment we were only concerned about the well- being and
quick recovery of our child, so I and my wife signed the consent form for the operation which
was to be done 2 days later. We even deposited Rs.10,000 as advance expenses for the operation.
The operation begun at 2.00 pm on 2nd March 2015, we were so stressed that we couldnt think
of anything else except for praying for the speedy recovery and well being of our child. We did
not see any anesthetist entering Dr. Surjas premises in between 2.00pm to 5.00pm. At around
5.00pm the doctors came out and were in a state of panic, they told us that the child was not able
to breathe and the hospital did not have the facility of ventilator so he had to be shifted to some
other hospital. Dr. Surja himself started making calls to the colleagues where my child could be
shifted, for quite some time he made calls but he failed in his attempts, finally he could arrange
for ventilator in Retro Hospital. While my child was being shifted from Dr. Surjas Care Hospital
to Retro Hospital in Dharampeth in ambulance, he stopped breathing. Upon reaching the
hospital, Dr. Yusuf tried to revive my child with DC shock, but failed in his attempts. When he
told us about the same, we didnt want to believe me and we knew that God would not be so
cruel to us so we took Mahesh to a mandir to seek Gods blessing so that he could save my child.
After 30 minutes we told the Doctor to try DC shock and CPR treatment again, as we were
confident that his attempt would be successful this time around. Unfortunately for us, our child
did not respond to the DC shock this time around too. We were distorted; we did not know why
this was happening to us.

We tried to find out the cause of death, it was discovered that during the operation Dr.
Surja had given excessive dosage to the child so as to keep him in unconscious state, he had
administered local anesthesia without consulting the anesthetist. We were furious after hearing
this and we decided to lodge a FIR and take serious legal action against Dr. Surja for his
negligence.

2.

Name:- Dr. Mohit Surja

Address:- Plot No.503, Rajnagar, Nagpur.
On 28th February 2015, Mahesh, an 8-year-old child was brought to my hospital for

treatment of his left hand. His father, Rakesh Rahane showed the X-ray of his child to which I
opined that the childs left hand had to be operated as the bone was wrongly joined. Maheshs
parents were yet not ready for the operation and they asked me to operate the child after 2 days,
to which I agreed and I also informed them about the complications which could be involved
during the operation. The parents consented to the child being operated and also signed the
consent clause. The operation began around 2.00pm in the presence of Dr. Vijay Kukreja, Nurse
Shalini Singh. The operation was a bit complicated and it got over around 5.00pm, in the
meanwhile we noticed that the child was not able to breathe and hence an oxygen mask had to be
used to help him breathe properly. We realized that the oxygen mask would not help him breathe
properly and there was a urgent need for ventilator service to be provided to him. We were not
equipped with the ventilator service in our hospital, so it being my moral responsibility to take
proper care of my patients, I made several phone calls to my colleagues who could provide
ventilator service to the child, unfortunately for us after making frantic attempts we could finally
find Retro Hospital in Dharampeth, where ventilator was available. In the meanwhile, we
informed Retro Hospital that the child is being brought to the hospital, I had patients waiting so I
asked my hospital staff to assist in shifting the child. Then after some time I got a call from Dr.
Yusuf that Dopanine injection had been administered to the child while he was being brought to
the Retro Hospital. He asked me to come to the Hospital as soon as possible, I immediately left
for Retro Hospital, on reaching the hospital I was told that the child had stopped breathing and he
was declared dead. On my request, Dr. Yusuf gave him DC shock to revive him, Dr. Yusuf also
told me CPR had already been given to the patient. Once we told the Rahane family about their
loss, they created quite a scene in the hospital, after which they decided to take their child to
Mandir, and they returned after 30-35 minutes and asked us to repeat the treatment to revive the
child. Dr. Yusuf gave the patient CPR and DC shock but is of no avail, as the child did not
respond to it. The relatives and family members of Rahane family started breaking things in the

Hospital to which Dr. Yusuf called the police and told them about the incident. Later, the body
was sent to Rayo Hospital in Sitabuldi for further investigation.
I hereby declare that the 28th February 2015, the child was brought to my hospital, when I
advised him operation and later he was operated on 2nd March 2015, I had not called anesthetist
for the operation, that is precisely the reason the starting dosages of anesthesia have not been
written by me, I had only given local anesthesia to the patient. While the patient was being
operated, his condition deteriorated and due to breathlessness he had to be shifted to Retro
Hospital, shifting child to the hospital was more important than writing the details of the
operation.

Name : - Dr. Yusuf Khan

Address : Plot No.603, Wardha Road, Nagpur.
I have my hospital in Dharampeth in the name of Retro Hospital which has been

functioning since the last 4 years. On 1st March 2015, around 5.15 pm I got a call from Dr. Mohit
Surja on my mobile, he informed me about the condition of the child who was critical, who was
in dire need of ventilator. He informed that he had called almost all the nearby hospitals but he
couldnt find the ventilator and I was his last hope. When I enquired about the reason why the
patient was not able to breathe, he told me that it was due to certain complications, which
occurred during the operation. Later I called the ambulance and asked my junior doctor Dr.
Surjewala to go in the ambulance to Dr. Surjas Hospital to bring the patient to Retro Hospital, I
also instructed him to use Ambu bag which would help the patient to breathe. I was standing
outside the gate of the hospital & waiting for the ambulance to arrive, as soon the ambulance
arrived I noticed that the child was breathing with the help of the Ambu bag. Looking at the
situation of the patient I asked my hospital staff to take the patient to ICU. I informed Rakesh
Rahane that the patient is serious,I also told him that the next 12 hours are critical incase the
child doesnt regain consciousness it would be difficult to save him. I also told him that they
could take the child to some other hospital or call the doctors whom they are familiar with. They
called Dr. Jeetesh Rane and informed him about the situation of the child, later even I spoke to
Dr. Jeetesh I informed him that the treatment is on, and to which he told me that he would be
visiting my hospital after his work is completed to access the situation of the child, Mr. Rakesh
Rahane then asked me to stop the treatment till Dr. Jeetesh Rane visited the child. The child was
administered with Dopanine+ Dobutanine for the time being. I then noticed that the blood sugar
levels and kidney reports were on the higher side, to which I gave the patient Sodabicarbonate
Injection, even after the injection, the patient did not react to it. I decided to put the patient on

ventilator and started giving him CPR treatment this continued for some time, the situation of the
child did not improve, in the meanwhile Dr. Surja entered the hospital as soon as he entered the
ICU we informed him that the child is dead, to which Dr. Surja insisted on repeating the CPR
treatment, I repeated the CPR treatment on his insistence. We then informed Mr. Rakesh Rahane
that his child is no more, to which he got furious and grabbed the collar of Dr. Surja and told him
that he was the reason for the death of his child, he also threatened that he would ruin Dr. Surja
& his family. He even slapped Dr. Surja twice after which Dr. Surja ran towards the bathroom &
locked himself from inside. Rahane family and his relatives then started destroying the hospital
property, they broke the furniture and the close door of the ICU, to which I shouted and asked
them to leave immediately, they further started attacking me and hit me on the nose. Looking at
the scene they had created, my staff had called the police. All of a sudden, Rakesh Rahane
decided to take his child to Mandir and after sometime brought him back he asked me to perform
CPR treatment and give the patient DC shock to which I responded and told him this wont make
a difference as the child is already dead, he threatened me to perform the CPR treatment and give
DC shock, even this couldnt revive the child. By that time the police had arrived, the Rahanes
started telling their version of the facts to the police and tried to implicate Dr. Surja. I had to
intervene as it was my moral responsibility to tell the correct nature of the facts, I informed them
that it was Dr. Surjas swiftness that the child could be brought to my hospital at the right time,
the negligence was on the part of the Rahane as they tried to delay the treatment and when I
asked them whether they wanted to take the child to some other hospital to which they did not
respond and when I asked them whether they wanted to invite some other doctor whom they
thought was competent to handle such a situation they called some Dr. Jeetesh Rane, I havent
even heard the name of such a doctor, after I spoke to Dr. Jeetesh, the family insisted on stopping
the treatment till Dr. Jeetesh came and assessed the situation.

I am Anaesthesist by profession, various surgeons and hospitals in Nagpur call me on

case basis. I have been working with Dr. Mohit Surja since quite some time, he has been calling
me as when the need arises. On 2nd March 2015 around 11:00am I received a call from Dr. Surja
while I was in Sethis Hospital, Dr. Surja asked for my availability and inquired whether I could
come to his Hospital around 2.00pm as a child was to be operated. I finished my work and
reached Dr. Surjas Care Hospital around 1.30pm. When I reached the hospital, I saw 8 year old
Mahesh lying on the hospital bed, I could see the pain he was going through. I then noticed that

there were 2 members from the hospital staff surrounding the child, one was giving body
massage to the child and one was trying to help the child to breathe with the oxygen mask, the
staff was being instructed by Dr. Surja. I first noticed the pale eye pupils of the child and it was
not responding to light, I then asked for ECG leads to be put and I also noticed that the oxymeter
did not any reading. Dr Surja informed me that the child was given intravenous adrenaline
injection. I could see that the childs condition was deteriorating so I asked Dr. Surja whether the
hospital was equipped with the facility of ventilator, to which he responded that there was no
ventilator facility in his hospital and he made frantic efforts to find a hospital where the ventilator
service was available. In the meanwhile I asked the hospital staff to call the father of the child
Mr.Rakesh Rahane, I informed the father of the patient that the child was in critical condition and
he needs to be urgently shifted to a hospital, which is equipped with ventilator services.

I have been working at Dr. Surjas Care Hospital since last 2 years. I was present

while Mahesh was being operated. As a conscientious person, I am stating the true facts which
had occurred on the date of the operation. It is unfortunate that a Doctor of Surjas capability
had to resort to such practices, he himself administered local anesthesia and once he noticed the
repercussions of administering the anaesthesia, he called upon Dr.Vijay Kukreja so that he
coulndt be blamed for medical negligence as the presence of an anesthetist could somewhat save
him for the consequences. I feel extremely sad that the 8 year old and his family had to suffer
because of the causal attitude shown by Dr. Surja.
