Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission regarding the appellant's claim of medical negligence under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986. The Court emphasized that the burden of proof lies on the complainant to establish negligence, which was not satisfactorily demonstrated in this case. The Court found no merit in the allegations of inappropriate medication, premature discharge, and failure to provide adequate treatment, thus dismissing the appeal.
