Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the revision petition by the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, affirming that the earlier judgment in Martin F. D'Souza Vs. Mohd. Ishfaq (2009) 3 SCC 1 is per incuriam, as clarified in V. Kishan Rao Vs. Nikhil Super Speciality Hospital & Anr. (2010) 5 SCC 513. The Court emphasized that the requirement for expert opinion in consumer complaints is not absolute and can be determined by the facts of each case. The appeals were dismissed, maintaining the National Commission's order.
