In a recent judgement passed by the Kerala High court, wherein the respondent lost her left eyesight due to medical negligence by a group of doctors. The court relied upon the landmark judgement passed by the apex court- Indian Medical Association v. V.P Shantha, wherein it was held that medical services would fall under the ambit of Consumer Protection Act, 2019, unless such services are rendered for free of cost or if there is a contract of personal service.

Case title- Dr. Vijil & ors v. Ambujakshi T.P

Can a police officer check your phone randomly?

Can a police officer check your mobile phone randomly and go through your private chats and/or web history?

No, as it is against our Fundamental Right- Right to Privacy mentioned under Article 21 and guaranteed to us by the Indian Constitution. There needs to be a Judicial Warrant for such searches, otherwise it would be an illegal search which is against the Constitution & our Fundamental Rights.

Exception to this- Whether there is a recorded reason for an urgency of police intervention or there is an ongoing investigation against the person.
