Material: The analysis is based on a detailed discussion of the concepts of “lawsin-medicine” and “laws-as-medicine,” supported by examples from medical negligence cases. The discussion also considers the legal frameworks governing medical practice, such as the Indian Medical Council Act, the Indian Penal Code, and the Code of Criminal Procedure.  1.
