Medicine and law have been interrelated from the earliest
times as per Gradwohl’s Legal Medicine. The role of the doctor and the police
is nothing but like a solitary person, sage, Qazi and priest. They are an intermediary
between God and man. The purpose of medicine is to maintain the patient in the
best health, to overcome his diseases, injury and to lengthen his healthy life.
The purpose of law is to maintain peace and order in the society, respect of
humans through human rights and to provide equality of opportunity. To achieve these purposes medicine emerges
from the laboratory by the scientific process and law emerges from the society
by the process of experience.
"People follow
medicine and Law follows people".
