Bombay high court on Friday observed orally that a city doctor has raised a “good public cause’’ in his petition seeking judicial intervention to ensure that the government sets up as directed by the Supreme Court, a mechanism for living wills (LW)-- Advanced Medical Directive, by a citizen. The LW allows patients who don’t want invasive treatments in case of any eventuality to instruct the path they wish to opt for. The HC sought replies from the Maharashtra government, BrihanMumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and Central government in six weeks in response to the PIL.
