Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the medical mishap during an eye camp organized by Lions Club, Khurja, where patients suffered irreversible eye damage due to post-operative infections. The Court found no evidence of malafide intentions behind the camp's organization but acknowledged the need for comprehensive guidelines for conducting such medical camps. The Court ordered that victims receive appropriate rehabilitation and compensation, and directed the government to investigate the incident and take necessary legal action against the responsible medical personnel under relevant medical negligence laws.
