The Madras High Court’s Madurai Bench has pulled up authorities over a medical report mix-up case, with the presiding judge saying that the ground reality appeared starkly different from Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay’s claims of prioritising women’s safety.

Justice Victoria Gowri’s observations came while hearing a petition filed by a man who alleged that a false narrative had been created portraying him as having cheated on a woman after promising marriage.

The petitioner claimed that he was neither in a relationship with the woman nor had he made any promise to marry her.

He further alleged that the police were harassing and pressuring him to marry the woman in the guise of an enquiry.

During earlier proceedings, Justice Gowri had directed authorities to submit a detailed medical examination report on the woman’s health condition and clarify whether she was pregnant.

However, when the matter came up for hearing, the court was reportedly furnished with a report from a medical team of the Tirunelveli Government Hospital addressing an entirely different issue — whether the woman was medically fit to undergo an abortion.

The report drew sharp criticism from the court, which had neither sought an opinion on termination of pregnancy nor requested an assessment related to abortion procedures.
