Any attack on doctors or medicare service personnel, including all medical and paramedical staff of hospitals, in Maharashtra could now mean a three-year jail term and a fine of Rs.50,000. The offence would be non-bailable.
The Maharashtra assembly Friday passed the Maharashtra Medicare Service Persons and Medicare Service Institution (Prevention of Violence and Damage or Loss to Property) Act, 2010, which will treat any attack on doctors as a non-bailable offence.
The act also provides that the offender will be liable to pay compensation of twice the amount of damages or losses caused to the property, or as may be determined by the court.
'If the offender has not paid the compensation imposed under sub-section (1), the same sum shall be recovered as if it were and arrears of land revenue,' the Act mentions.
