Whenever there is an accident or any incident taking place there are chances that the victims or their family members or relatives or any third party can set a criminal law in motion. Following are the different stage and procedures as prescribed under law.
If patient or his relations feel that there has been criminal negligence in treating causing simple / grievous injury / death, he may file a First Information Report (F.I.R.) or Non-Cognizable Report (N.C.R.) in the police station. Cognizable offences are usually serious in nature and in which police has power to arrest without warrant.

In case of a Non-Cognizable offence, the arrest can be made only after the Magistrate issues a warrant. If death is caused, the case is usually registered under sec. 304-A IPC, for simple injury case may be registered under sec 337 IPC and grievous injury the case may be registered under sec 338 IPC. All these above-said three offences are cognizable (in which police can arrest the doctor without warrant) but at the same time bailable.

Anticipatory bail (Sec 438 of Cr.P.C.):
When there is likelihood of a criminal complaint being filed against a doctor he can apply for anticipatory bail under sec 438 Cr.P.C. so as to avoid arrest by the police.
Section 438(1) confers on the High Court and the court of sessions the power to grant anticipatory bail if the applicant has reason to believe that he may be arrested on the accusation of having committed ‘a non-bail able offence’.
If the offence is non-bailable, it is immaterial for the purpose of section 438 whether the offence is cognizable or non-cognizable, or whether it is one under the Indian Penal Code or under any other law (PCPNDT, CE, MTP or BMWM Act etc.).
Even with apprehension of arrest also the anticipatory bail can asked even when offence which is not registered with the police.
