Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the order of the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, which directed Bombay Hospital & Medical Research Centre and Dr. C. Anand Somaya to pay compensation for medical negligence resulting in the death of patient Dinesh Jaiswal. The court found that the hospital failed to provide adequate medical care, leading to the patient's demise, and thus affirmed the compensation amount along with interest.
