Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission's decision rejecting the appellant's claim of medical negligence against the respondents. The Court found that the appellant failed to prove negligence as defined under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, specifically noting that the doctors acted within the standards of care expected of qualified professionals. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's ruling that the medical practitioners did not breach their duty of care as outlined in the relevant provisions of the Act.
