Kailash Hospital & Res.Centre L.& Anr vs Sanjeev Duggal & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission's award of compensation of Rs.2,50,000, damages of Rs.25,000, and costs of Rs.10,000 for medical negligence, affirming that the award did not suffer from legal error. However, the Court set aside the Commission's direction to the U.P. State Medical Council and Government of U.P. for further action against the appellants, finding the direction unjustified and based on emotional response rather than legal principles. The Court allowed the appeal in part, granting liberty to the respondents to seek modification of the order if desired.
