Is the Active Tracker Legal? |
| |
Is it as per PCPNDT Act? |
| |
Is the video generated from Active Tracker is permissible evidence in the court? |
| |
Indian
Radiology
&
Imaging
Association
has
filed
a
WRIT
petition
in
Bombay
High
Court
and
has
challenged
the
invention
on
above
-‐
mentioned
question.
How
ever
the
Hon.
Bombay
Court
has
ruled
out
these
points
and
hence
Active
Tracker
invention
is
as
compliance
to
the
PCPNDT
Act
and
fur
ther
the
Hon.
Court
has
also
mentioned
in
its
order
that
the
access
of
the
video
shall
be
with
Civil
Surgeon
and
above,
deputy
collector
and
above
rank,
which
confirms
that
this
video
shall
be
treated
as
submersible
evidence
in
the
court. |
|
|
|
| 2. |
Collectors have
the
right
to
enforce
such
initiative? |
| |
As
per
Hon.
Bombay
High
Court
Judgment,
The
collector
as
a
chairperson
of
the
district
PCPNDT
Committee
has
the
right
to
enforce
such initiative. |
|
|
|
| 3. |

| |
As
per
Hon.
Bombay
High

Judgment,
Right

Life.
Hence,
the
issue
of
breach
of

of
the
patient
is
ruled

Silent
Observer
is
a
useless
device? |
| |
Yes.
The
first
invention
used
in
the
Kolhapur
district
was
named
as
silent
observer
(SIOB).
How
ever,
bei
ng
the
first
invention
it
had
lots
of
lacuna
and
errors.
All
errors
were
removed
and
a
new
version
was
developed
and
named
as
Active
Tracker.
All
silent
observers
were
replaced
by
Active
Trackers
immediately
in
the
Kolhapur
district. |
|
|
|
|
| 5. |
Is the video uploaded to any district server? |
|
No.
No
video
is
uploaded
anywhere,
but
stored
locally
in
the
hard
disk
of
the
Active
Tracker.
If
the
authorities
want
to
find
out
any
videos,
they
have
to
visit
the
respective
center
and
copy
the
data
physically
through
external
data
coping
software,
which
is
available
only
with
the
authorities |
|
|
|
| 6. |
The
committee
report
of
the
Government
of
Maharashtra
is
negative? |
|
No.
Government
of
Maharashtra
appointed
a
committee
to
study
the
Kolhapur
initiative.
When
committee
visited
first
time
in
year
2010,
silent
observers
were
installed.
The
first
DRAFT
prepared
by
committee
was
on
silent
observer
and
it
was
negative.
The
committee
visited
again
in
2011
and
by
that
time
all
silent
observers
were
removed
and
re
placed
by
Active
Tracker.
The
second
visit
findings
were
positive
and
the
ultimate
final
report
submitted
by
the
committee
to
the
Government
has
both
findings.
So
the
conclusion
of
the
report
is
definitely
positive. |
|
|
|
|
| 7. |
Is
it
a
500
Gb
storage? |
|
The
Active
Tracker
has
1TB
(1024
GB)
storage
capacity
hard
drive.
The
re
are
some
centers
working
24/7,
some
4
hours
a
day,
some
2
days
a
week
etc.
So
there
cannot
be
a
standard
capacity
storage
for
all
machines.
Hence
Active
Tracker
has
1
TB
storage
for
all
Active
Tracker.
It
has
a
facility
of
SMS
to
doctors
mobile
for
eve
ry
on
it
will
show
the
free
space
available
on
the
hard
disk.
As
per
PCPNDT
Act,
minimum
2
years
of
data
storage
is
compulsory.
So
this
SMS
helps
monitoring
this
and
system
also
intimates
the
doctor
through
alert
SMS
of
hard
disk
space
in
case
it
is
filled
before
2
years. |
|
|
|
| 8. |
It is
only
a
hard
disk
and
company
is
charging
30,000
for
it? |
|
The
Active
Tracker
device
is
not
only
a
hard
disk,
but
has
many
other
parts
such
as
mother
board,
2GB
RAM,
Linux
based
TV
Tuner
card,
SMPS,
a
embedded
circuit
for
controlling
auto
on
and
off,
cables,
inbuilt
extension
board,
data
card,
po
st
paid
SIM
card
with
one
year
advance
rental,
cost
of
sealing
and
installation
procedure,
one
year
comprehensive
warranty,
one
year
online
and
telephonic
support
etc.
All
this
is
included
in
the
price
of
the
Active
Tracker.

Seeing
gender
is
not
a
crime,
disclosing
sex
of
the
fetus
is
crime? |
|
The
videos
are
interpreted
by
the
radiologist
and
gynecologist
experts
only
and
not
by
any
third
perso
n.
Also
it
is
not
a
single
video,
but
complete
information
about
the
pregnant
lady,
her
history,
her
pregnancy
record,
if
MTP
performed
then
MTP
report
and
all
such
information
is
collected
before
taking
any
action.
So
merely
by
video
no
action
can
be
taken,
but
this
is
a
evidence
for
proving
innocence
to
the
doctors. |
