NEW DELHI: The Chhattisgarh high court, in its July 21 order, quashed criminal proceedings against a radiologist accused of failing to report a minor's pregnancy under the POCSO Act, holding that merely conducting a diagnostic sonography does not make a doctor liable for prosecution. The court held that a medical practitioner can be prosecuted under Section 21 of the POCSO Act only if there is material to show that the doctor had knowledge of, or reason to believe, that an offence under the act had been committed.
