See in our country India if a road accident occurs it is difficult to save a person, if someone comes forward to help the victim he is put to lot of trouble like law questions also the person will not be taken to hospital without other formalities like Police certification. Is there any symbol procedure by which you can come to the rescue of the victim.

In the United States there is the Good Samaritan laws (Acts) that protect from blame those who choose to aid others who are injured or ill. They are intended to reduce bystanders' hesitation to assist, for fear of being prosecuted for unintentional injury or wrongful death.
In India, over the years people have hesitated to involve themselves with helping people in peril, for fear of being sued. The fear of police harassment often plays strongly in the minds of bystanders preventing them from helping a road accident victim. Truth to tell, this perception is not wholly without basis. It is even more detrimental when doctors and medical institutions, wait for police investigations to be over before the patient is treated.
In the case of Pt Paramanand Katara vs Union of India in 1989, the Supreme Court observed that treatment of the accident victim should not wait for the arrival of the police and completion of legalities. Failure on the part of any government hospital to attend to such patients is a violation of "Right to Life" guaranteed under Article 21 of the constitution. Moreover, in 1994, Section 134 was added to the Motor Vehicles Act 1988 (MVA) to cover the exigency of prompt medical attention to be given by medical institutions or doctors to accident victims without waiting for procedural formalities and fear of police harassment. Significantly, failure in this regard is punishable under Section 187 of MVA.

Call to the nearest hospital's ambulance to take the patient to the hospital
Take the persons wallet or purse to get all the information about the patient "address & t.p no".
Then contact their family or parents & let them know about the accident which happen to their person.
And then let them know which Ward & Hospital he is been admitted in, so that they come & take care of the rest with the patient.
And when they come you just let the rest up to them & go back to your work...
Thats it... If it was me, this is what i would have done...
Suppose if the person does not have any relatives, i would do everything necessary for the patient, i dont mind doing things like that, i love helping people & we dont get those kimd of oppurtunites always to help people.
Cheers!!!

public laws in india are high on morals and meanest on implementation. Help a accident victim and then pay to every one from police man to hospital attendent.
I feel for every accident reported ther are 10 accidents unreported as police avoid to meet the Chief minister directives to keep the crime records low ( not crimes).

The formalities have been simplified now. You can attend and help the victim without any police certification.
Somehow we got rid of that stupid rules our ancestors made. There are many like this.
