Abstract:
In day-to-day clinical practice, medico-legal cases (MLC) are frequently encountered by medical practitioners. In these cases,
many times there is confusion regarding registering a case as a MLC. After registering a case as a MLC, many have confusion
regarding sending information to the police or magistrate. Herein, we discuss the issues related to registering the MLC,
intimating the MLC to police, scope of making a case nil-MLC, and consequences if not informed to the police or magistrate.
