Reading: My sister passed away due to a ruptured fallopian tube caused by an ectopic pregnancy. Both the post-mortem report and the treating doctor confirmed this. However, my brother-in-law delayed seeking treatment for 48 hours due to lack of awareness and poor communication in our village. I’ve filed a police complaint under sections 302, 498, and 34. Can I win this case, or should I consider a compromise?

While the delay in seeking treatment is a factor, proving intent to cause harm under Section 302 is difficult given the circumstances. Sections 498 and 34 might be more applicable, but success depends on proving cruelty and shared responsibility. Legal advice from a lawyer specializing in medical negligence is crucial to assess your case and determine the best course of action.
