” Supreme Court has announced now that any person who meets with a road accident can be taken To nearby hospital immediately. Hospital must not ask For police report To admit him, its doctor’s duty To do 1st aid. Police can be informed later. Pls pass this sms 2 All rather than forwrding othr msgs It may help Someone . . ! !”
