Mumbai: The Bombay High Court on Thursday suggested corporate companies to allot two per cent of their profits towards settling hospital bills of patients who cannot afford to pay.

The suggestion was made by a division bench of justices V M Kanade and Revati Mohite Dere while hearing a petition filed by a man named Sanjay Prajapati urging the court to direct the city police to initiate action against doctors and staff of SevenHills Hospital here for wrongfully confining his brother over a disputed bill.
