1 - 10 of 11 (0.41 seconds)Jacob Mathew vs State Of Punjab & Anr on 5 August, 2005
23. It was further observed in Jacob Mathew case [Jacob
Mathew v. State of Punjab, (2005) 6 SCC 1 : 2005 SCC (Cri) 1369]
that the fact that a defendant charged with negligence who acted in
accord with the general and approved practice is enough to clear him
of the charge. It was held that the standard of care, when assessing
the practice as adopted, is judged in the light of knowledge available
at the time of the incident and not at the date of trial. It was held that
the standard to be applied for judging whether the person charged
has been negligent or not would be that of an ordinary competent
person exercising ordinary skill in that profession. It is not possible
for every professional to possess the highest level of expertise or
skills in that branch which he practises.
