Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court modified the National Commission's order regarding compensation, directing that the entire amount of Rs. 2,50,000 be paid solely by the Hospital, rather than shared with the appellant. The Court emphasized that the Hospital must pay the remaining balance within four weeks, and any amount previously deposited with the Uttar Pradesh State Commission must be released to the complainant within two weeks. This decision clarifies the liability of the Hospital in consumer dispute cases under the Consumer Protection Act.
