Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission's decision, affirming that the respondent doctor did not exhibit negligence under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986. The Court emphasized that the appellant failed to provide expert testimony to substantiate claims of improper treatment. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, reinforcing the principle that the burden of proof lies with the complainant in negligence cases.
