Authored by renowned Functional Neurosurgeon Dr. Sharan Srinivasan and Neurorehabilitation expert Dr. Prathiba Sharan, the trilogy + Handbook proposes a paradigm shift from a "symptom-based" to a "function-based" justice system.</div><div><br></div><div>“The Neuro Justice Trilogy”, was formally launched by Justice Aravind Kumar, Judge, Supreme Court of India, at a high-level gathering of judicial, medical, policy, and law-enforcement leaders. The event was presided over by Dinesh Gundu Rao, Minister for Health & Family Welfare, Government of Karnataka, and held in the august presence of Justice R. V. Raveendran, Former Judge, Supreme Court of India.</div><div><br></div><div>The Lokarpana was attended by Rudrappa Lamani, Deputy Speaker, Karnataka Legislative Assembly; Justice A. V. Chandrashekar, Former Judge, High Court of Karnataka; Seemanth Kumar Singh, Commissioner of Police, Bengaluru; Dr. Manas Panigrahi, President, Neurological Society of India; Dr. V. D. Sinha, Former 2nd VP World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) and President-Elect of the Asian-Australasian Society of Neurological Surgeons (AASNS); and Padmashri K. Y. Venkatesh, Paralympian and Disability Ambassador, PRS Neurosciences reflecting the cross-sector relevance of neurological justice.</div><div><br></div><div>The Chief Guest, Justice Aravind Kumar, Judge of the Supreme Court of India, performed the formal Lokarpana of the books. He emphasized that the work symbolizes the meaningful intersection of law, neuroscience, and ethics. "His presence symbolizes the growing importance of interdisciplinary dialogue in shaping future justice systems".</div><div><br></div><div>Justice R. V. Raveendran, Former Judge of the Supreme Court of India, who has given many landmark judgements in MVC cases during his tenure, lauded the authors for their scholarly depth. He noted that the trilogy adds "exceptional intellectual gravitas" to the event and provides a much-needed roadmap for judges to navigate the complexities of neurological disabilities.</div><div><br></div><div>Presiding over the function, Dinesh Gundu Rao, Minister for Health & Family Welfare, Government of Karnataka, highlighted the framework’s relevance to public health. He stated that the government places high value on thought leadership that integrates medical science with ethical governance to improve the lives of citizens.</div><div><br></div><div>Rudrappa Lamani, Deputy Speaker of the Karnataka Legislative Assembly, who himself has just survived and recovered from a devastating Road Traffic Accident (RTA) with both brain and spinal cord injuries, noted that the legislature recognizes these emerging intersections as vital for social equity and inclusive governance. Having recovered and gone back to his seat as the Deputy Speaker, he spoke about the urgent need of establishing affordable multi-disciplinary neuro rehabilitation centres in all Districts in Karnataka and how even he was unaware of the presence of rehabilitation centres such as PRS Neurosciences.</div><div><br></div><div>The "Neuro Justice" Movement: From Operating Room to Courtroom</div><div><br></div><div>The authors shared the deeply personal journey that led to this work. Dr. Sharan Srinivasan, Functional Neurosurgeon and Author, reflected on the journey from emergency rooms to courtrooms “We have seen patients survive trauma, only to lose justice because their ‘hardware’ and ‘software’ impairments and their ‘functional impacts’ were invisible on pape r as well as in real life. Neuro Justice exists to translate brain science into judicially usable truth.”</div><div><br></div><div>Dr. Prathiba Sharan, co-author and CEO of PRS Neurosciences, emphasized the "invisible disability" that often remains unseen and uncompensated, such as damaged memory, empathy, and behavior. “Function is how a person lives, thinks, decides, works and belongs. When assessments ignore this, families pay the price. This trilogy brings rehabilitation, neuropsychology and law into one shared language.” she noted.</div><div><br></div><div>Introducing the Neuro Justice Framework (NJF) v1.0</div><div><br></div><div>The highlight of the launch was the introduction of the NJF v1.0, India’s first operational model for measuring functional disability. This is a patent-pending work and the key features include:</div><div><br></div><div>● The TAPS System: A Tri-Axis Participation System measuring Individual, Family, and Societal functioning.</div><div><br></div><div>● The NJF Triad: The NJF Triad uses three linked engines to measure who the person was before injury, what function can be realistically restored, and how compensation should enable that restoration.</div><div><br></div><div>● Scientific Accuracy: Integration of WHO-FIC family of classifications and the RPwD Act 2016 into everyday legal practice.</div><div><br></div><div>A Multi-Disciplinary Consensus</div><div><br></div><div>The event featured insights from diverse experts, including:</div><div><br></div><div>● Seemanth Kumar Singh (Commissioner of Police, Bengaluru) on the practical relevance of neuroscience in criminal justice and behavioral understanding.</div><div><br></div><div>● Dr. V. D. Sinha and Dr. Manas Panigrahi (Neurological Society of India) on the scientific authority, the long-standing need for such a detailed book and the clinical relevance of the trilogy, even for the neurosurgeons and other medical professionals who are dealing with MVC cases and the judicial system.</div><div><br></div><div>● Padmashri K. Y. Venkatesh (Paralympian), who provided a powerful "lived-experience" perspective on the importance of returning a person to a life of dignity.</div><div><br></div><div>The Neuro Justice Trilogy + handbook is published in the public interest by the Swaasthya Aarogya Foundation Trust. It stands as a beacon for Viksit Bharat 2047, aiming to cut tribunal resolution times by 50% and ensure that justice truly returns a person to life.</div><div><br></div><div>Why Neuro Justice Matters</div><div><br></div><div>India faces nearly 9 lakh pending motor accident claims, with compensation often delayed beyond the rehabilitation window. The Neuro Justice framework documents how early, function-based understanding can reduce injustice, caregiver burnout and economic collapse, while helping courts arrive at fair, consistent outcomes.</div><div><br></div><div>Published in public interest by Swasthya Aarogya Foundation and supported by leading neuroscience institutions, the trilogy positions India at the forefront of a global shift toward function-first justice.</div>

When he suddenly developed severe abdominal pain and distension, he was rushed to Medicover Hospital, Whitefield, where specialists diagnosed him with sigmoid volvulus—a medical emergency in which the large intestine twists on itself, cutting off blood supply and risking bowel gangrene.</div><div><br></div><div>Sigmoid volvulus accounts for 5–8% of intestinal obstructions in India, with higher incidence among elderly men, patients with chronic constipation, and those with sedentary lifestyles. If not treated promptly, the condition can rapidly lead to infection, sepsis, and death.</div><div><br></div><div>The case was particularly high-risk as the patient had undergone recent cardiac surgery just three months earlier and was on blood-thinning medication, significantly increasing the risk of internal bleeding during surgery.</div><div><br></div><div>As an immediate life-saving step, the Medicover surgical gastroenterology team led by Dr. Kaushik Subramanian performed an emergency colonoscopic detorsion, successfully untwisting the bowel and restoring blood flow. A multidisciplinary cardiac team simultaneously optimized the patient’s heart condition and anticoagulation status.</div><div><br></div><div>Once stabilized, the patient underwent a robotic sigmoidectomy, a minimally invasive procedure that allowed precise removal of the affected bowel with reduced blood loss, faster recovery, and lower complication risk—an especially critical advantage for high-risk cardiac patients.</div><div><br></div><div>The patient recovered well post-surgery and was discharged with a structured plan to prevent recurrence of constipation and bowel obstruction.</div><div><br></div><div>Commenting on the case, Dr. Kaushik Subramanian, Consultant Surgical Gastroenterologist, Medicover Hospital, said: “Constipation is often trivialized, especially in older adults, but long-standing bowel dysfunction can progress to life-threatening emergencies like sigmoid volvulus. Early evaluation, lifestyle correction, and timely surgical intervention can prevent catastrophic outcomes.”</div><div><br></div><div>Doctors emphasize that persistent constipation, abdominal distension, unexplained pain, or sudden worsening of symptoms should prompt immediate medical attention, particularly in elderly individuals and those with previous surgeries or chronic illnesses.</div>

The inaugural session was attended by the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Mohan Yadav, Swami Vigyananand, Founder of WHEF, Rajesh Sharma, Chairman of the WHEF Organising Committee, and leading industrialists including Hari Mohan Bangur, Chairman, Shree Cement Ltd, and Sajjan Jindal, Chairman, JSW Group, along with policymakers, startup founders, business leaders and investors.</div><div> </div><div>A key highlight of the opening day was the address by Hari Mohan Bangur, who emphasised India’s inherent strengths in talent, resources and technology, asserting that the country does not need to look outside for leadership or inspiration. On the occasion, Mr. Bangur also handed over a letter of intent to invest ₹2,000 crore in Maharashtra to Chief Minister Shri Devendra Fadnavis.</div><div> </div><div>Highlighting the ethical foundation of Indian economic thought, Bangur stated that ‘dharma guides artha’ in Indian culture and that profit must always be accompanied by responsibility. “We must get out of the Macaulayan education system and reinvest in our old values. For centuries India alone accounted for nearly 30 per cent of the world economy. But something negative happened with the coming of Europeans who successfully looted the country. A Hindu Economic Forum was necessary and it has been created and is working fine. The Forum may take a year or 10 years, but it will surely be successful,” he said.</div><div> </div><div>Speaking on innovation, Bangur shared Shree Cement’s experience of technological advancement in energy efficiency. “Power plants in India usually shuts down below 60 per cent capacity utilisation. Our engineers made some innovative changes and brought down the capacity utilisation threshold and we could run our power plants at 30 per cent capacity. This reduced lot of coal from unnecessary burning. The energy ministry noticed this innovation and came to inquire from our engineers how we did it.”</div><div> </div><div>Calling for a mindset shift, he added, “We should unshackle ourselves and bring innovation in our thinking and in our education.”</div><div> </div><div>Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Devendra Fadnavis, described the World Hindu Economic Forum as a vital platform for collaboration and dialogue. “World Hindu Economic Forum is a great medium to forge connections. We believe there is an underlying Hindu philosophy at the core of our economic system. If we understand this philosophy we will stand up as a very prosperous nation, create a harmonious society and effectively contribute to the world vision that we have,” he said.</div><div> </div><div>Speaking on the sidelines of the conference, Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Mohan Yadav, highlighted India’s growing global stature and the role of states in driving economic growth. “India, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has created its own space and identity in the global affairs. As our country moves towards becoming the third largest economy in the world, every state has an important role to play. When we talk of innovation and rapid economic growth, Madhya Pradesh is one of the frontal states in the country having garnered 8.5 lac crores of investment. Madhya Pradesh is moving ahead in the mining sector, energy, tourism, religious tourism and others,” he said.</div>
