Solve the paper first, under exam conditions and against the clock. Then read the answers here and mark your own. Reading a solution before attempting the question feels productive and teaches very little, because recognising an answer is not the same as being able to write one.
Q.1
Q.1: Answer in one/two sentences
20 Marks - 2 marks each
(a)Define "Consent"[2]
Answer
"Two or more persons are said to consent when they agree upon the same thing in the same sense" (section 13, Indian Contract Act, 1872). In medicine, consent is the patient's agreement to an examination or treatment after understanding what it involves.
When consent is free. Consent is free when it is not caused by coercion, undue influence, fraud, misrepresentation or mistake (section 14). A consent obtained by any of these makes the agreement voidable.
When consent is no consent in criminal law. A consent is not valid if it is given "under fear of injury, or under a misconception of fact". Nor is it valid if given by a person who, "from unsoundness of mind, or intoxication, is unable to understand the nature and consequence" of what he consents to. A consent by a person under twelve is not valid either (section 28, Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023).
In medical practice. Consent must be real, informed and specific. In Samira Kohli v. Dr. Prabha Manchanda, (2008) 2 SCC 1, the Supreme Court held that consent to a diagnostic procedure is not consent to the removal of organs. "When a patient is a competent adult, there is no question of someone else giving consent on her behalf."
